The Dark Night of Censorship falls on New Zealand

Everybody keeps waiting for the dystopia to arrive, well wait no more for it has made an appearance in New Zealand.

Zero Hedge [zerohedge.com] reports that New Zealand is dropping the hammer on all discussion about the recent shooting. The list is growing and will almost certainly be larger by the time this story goes live.

Current banned sites seem to be:
Dissenter.com (the new service from Gab yet gab.com is still reported as available.... for now)
All of the "chans" are banned.
Zerohedge itself is now banned.

Subscribers who ask their ISP are reporting being told sites will stay banned until they become "censorship compliant."

Sites not banned:
Facebook.com, which live streamed the attack
Twitter.com which hosted the original link to the shooter's "manifesto."

Guess they are "censorship compliant."
