That is nuts. I expected the chans to get banned in NZ, but voat in AUS is more far-reaching than I would've imagined. Authorities down there are being so reactionary, it's frightening, tbh. That whole "bastion of freedom" imagine NZ and AUS spent the last 50 years building is very quickly going down the toilet

zerohedge is also blocked according to twitter. poor aussies and kiwis, a captive population, isolated, at the end of the world, at mercy of powerhungry maniacs.

We're all captive to a degree in our residing nations, unfortunately. The world has become a small place, in a lot of ways

I have never even heard of ZeroHedge before. Has anyone noticed if they blocked Kiwifarms?

Not surprising I guess, all this reactionary stuff had to come from somewhere. But to those abroad, the way the NZ and AUS authorities are reacting is seriously damaging their image in a very visible and public way. It is a signal, an indicator of where their heads are at, and right now the whole world is paying attention

Every "event" is they test out their systems for our reactions.

True. "Never let a crisis go to waste"
