A Regulatory Framework for the Internet

but the questions is: Does really spreading Christchurch video have any negative consequences?

Without answer to this question we cant censor speech and say we are not totalitarians.

Yeah the article expects you to accept that without question. I'm totally fine with FB removing it from their servers - I would do the same thing. But government interference here would destroy the internet, plain and simple. We can have "nuanced" discussions all day long, but there is no "nuanced" law around what can and cannot exist on the internet.

Consider viewing this video from the perspective of a close relative of someone killed as "game" in the hunt. Distress can get very real.

And if a personal perspective does not suffice -- you don't want to breed copycats.
