How do you apply what you’ve said to something like child porn. I think we can agree that we don’t need to see Subway Jared’s collection ourselves but we’re totally happy for the government to lock him up.

Good question. Child porn is illegal regardless if the content is made by force or with actors. Someone making a cp video with actors and passing it off as real would be immaterial.
The New Zealand authorities have essentially made it illegal to disagree that that the video and manifesto is valid justification for taking away rights and freedoms because informed disagreement would require to view the content which is punishable with a sentence up to 14 years. Do you really not see the problem here?
If the video and manifesto is used as justification to take rights a privileges away from the citizens of New Zealand then its only reasonable that the citizens have the right to scrutinize their governments actions by viewing and sharing video and manifesto. Accountability is still necessary regardless how unpleasant it may be.
