Social media companies have been told to “clean up their platforms” or be prepared to face the “force of the law” by Home Secretary Sajid Javid.

Writing in the Daily Express, Mr Javid said: “Tech companies must do more to stop his messages being broadcast.”

Despite the original video being taken down, it was quickly replicated and shared widely on other platforms, including YouTube and Twitter.

Mr Javid urged people to stop viewing and sharing the “sick material” online, adding: “It is wrong and it is illegal.

I totally understand that people might not want to see a film of real people being shot, but I don’t understand why it’s legally wrong to view it. I wish they would give a reason, like they fear it could lead to Muslim retaliation. But I don’t recall that same rationale being applied to, say, photos of other mass killings. There is something odd about this ban.

...and so without seeing the video, one could say, who would even want to watch such a video? Only a sick mind, you say?

Perhaps not.

What if you are say, in charge of a religious institution? A private security outfit? Might a study of this video show others how to defend against such attacks?

Just my $0.02

It is my opinion that anyone that watches these snuff films are not much better than dirt.

So I guess you have never seen the news footage from 9/11/2001. Or you consider yourself "not much better than dirt".

Be honest with yourself.

I watched the video...it was a little less than 17 minutes long. The first few minutes the killer was in his car driving to the mosque. The last couple minutes of the video was spent driving away from the mosque. The majority of the time was spent shooting people. The part that surprises me...I only heard a siren once...towards the very end of the video. Not even sure that was for the mosque shootings, maybe just a random siren.

My question...where the F were the police?

“And the US media conspired to stop showing the video from 9/11...which is STILL being enforced today.”

Spot on, Cletus.D.Yokel. That censorship by the media, not to mention their cheerleading for leftist fascists and their mooslim surrogates, has confined these Goebbels’ propagandists to DC. They can’t venture outside of the northeast without bodyguards.

How long will NZ be able to keep Tarrant’s muslim affiliation hidden?

It's going to ooze out whether they like it or not.
