This classification is more than a condemnation: it made both illegal to possess or distribute. Thanks to this response, New Zealand law enforcement is now rounding up and charging anyone who violates this post-tragedy decision to make newsworthy content the legal equivalent of child porn. > The first reported arrest occurred March 17th, two days after the shooter livestreamed his attack on local mosques.
