After The New Zealand Terror Attack, Should 8chan Be Wiped From The Web?
Forbes ^

Posted on 03/15/2019 8:14:51 PM PDT by MNDude

On Friday, a man murdered 49 people in Christchurch, New Zealand. He targeted Muslims at two mosques in the city in what’s been deemed a terrorist attack, one of the most horrific acts of violence the country has ever seen.

Shortly before the attack, in what appeared to be posts from the alleged shooter, links to a Facebook livestream of the killings were shared on 8chan. Social media channels later struggled to remove copies of that stream, while his 74-page “manifesto” also spread from 8chan across the likes of Facebook and Twitter.

The PTB curb stomped the video links and links to the shooter's manifesto.

I've never seen anything like it.

Facebook was too busy going after the little annoyances to bother with the big stuff....they always do.

.....”A lot of past killers made their boasts on Facebook and no mention of shutting them down”....

Because THEY like to watch and share them.

I also saw most of them before they were taken down.....no different then what ISIS puts on social media. Furthermore the middle Easternerss like to view this stuff...they are conditioned to watch and unfortunately appreciate violence even among their own kind. They line up all around their own people to watch their various ‘punishments’ for breaking Sharia Laws.

What the hell happened to Forbes Magazine/publications? It used to be good writing on economics/business, etc.

In fact, a couple of us tracked down one of their editorials from 1983 because of some interesting internals security information that had published. We’d still like to know if they can openly source it for scholars.

Now this crap. Why?

Everyone knows the answers to the unasked questions.

Unfortunately our world today is on a ‘lets just all get along and love each other” trip which is not the same as the Biblical idea of these values....rather it's a Universalism/Globalist agenda masquerading to bring people together for political purposes.

Further.. politicians are using every story out there to make political points. While the media spreads their own agenda in every story.

Christians have been killed by the tens of thousands in Muslim countries and no one bats an eye. Heck Muslims have been killed by the tens of thousands by other Muslims all over the world. It was a little surprising that this attack was perpetrated by a leftist commie “environmentalist” and not a fellow Muslim.

Well there's some liberal logic for you.
Facebook is to blame for the livestream, if there is blame to be laid, yet the goal is to destroy 8chan and not Facebook.

It was sold several years ago, to a Chinese company, I believe.

Southern Chinese, but the magazine has changed, a bit.

without his “former communist” eco-fascist “disagrees with Trump” “wants calls for gun control” manifesto, the MSM and libs would fabricate their own propaganda without challenge.

The shooter professed to be a Communist, anarchist, UK libertarian, and now an eco-fascist. Why is the MSM demanding that only “conservatives” denounce this attack?

Why is the media silent on the shooter’s own comment that his does not agree with Donald J. Trump’s political policies?
