Objectionable Content - What You May NOT Post

[kall]

While NZB is all in favour of Free Speech, there are certain topics that are considered to be 'Objectionable' and therefore against the law to publish.

The following is from http://www.dsw.govt.nz/publications/...pages1-13.html

The term “objectionable” is defined in the Act, and centres on the question of whether the availability of a publication is likely to be injurious to the public good. Certain publications are automatically objectionable, in accordance with section 3(2) of the Act. A publication is deemed to be objectionable if it promotes or supports, or tends to promote or support:

• the exploitation of children or young persons for sexual purposes;
• the use of violence or coercion to compel any person to participate in, or submit to, sexual conduct;
• sexual conduct with the body of a dead person;
• the use of urine or excrement in association with degrading or dehumanising conduct or sexual conduct;
• bestiality; or
• acts of torture or the infliction of extreme violence or extreme cruelty.

Should you see a topic which might be considered Objectionable, please use the Report post function to let us know. If it is considered to be Objectionable, it will be removed, and the poster will receive a warning.

If you post Objectionable material after being warned for it once, you will be immediately banned. There will be no further warnings.

As NZB is effectively 'Publishing' all posts that are made, the onus would lie on NZB if such posts were allowed to remain.

But the psychological torture is still ok, right?

Of course...but only within your realm.
