We've started temporarily blocking a number of sites that are hosting footage of Friday’s terrorist attack in Christchurch. We understand this may inconvenience some legitimate users of these sites, but these are extreme circumstances and we feel this is the right thing to do.

Dear Telstra, blocking websites on your moral grounds is objectionable. Going to block Tianamen Square as well? Facebook? In response, I will ensure the video is much more freely available than it already is, circumventing your blocks. You disgrace.

Tony, I understand your concerns, and I agree that this can lead to a slippery slope. But please, do not respond by sharing the video yourself. That's what he would have wanted, to see his message spread.

I am completely unconcerned with what that individuals wants, or does not want. I mean that in the absolute sense; I didn't care a single bit. Now has Telstra stepped on my toes, and I care about that thing.

No it wouldn't.
