1466053 2020-01-18 21:28:00 Its all about Freedom of speech.
I am worried about moves that Andre Little is taking.

As I asked earlier, is Paranoia setting in??

Sad.

1466054 2020-01-19 00:02:00 What? Is Freedom of Speech a euphemism for racist ranting?
In NZ we can say what we like pretty much so long as it isn't nastiness about minority groups and hate speech.

At the moment, but look at what happens with the gun buy back
They only need to pass a small law, then it can be expanded.

1466057 2020-01-19 20:37:00 I read the OP out of interest, had nothing to offer, didn't comment. that's one of your 80, I expect the rest are much the same as already suggested.

The whole freedom of speech thing has always been conditional, no one has ever really had the freedom to say whatever they like and in my opinion nor should they.

It wouldn't be any different on a forum you ran I'd suggest. If someone starts ranting about a topic you disapprove of or about something illegal or objectionable are you going to leave it there because "freedom of speech" or are you going to delete it and maybe ban them because that's the right thing to do ?

Freedom of speech is an illusion.

1466058 2020-01-19 21:04:00 hello
I want to set up a website with a forum .
As I no longer trust nz websites due to government interference etc



So you trust overseas governments more than the NZ govt . Serious question .
And you trust overseas hosting providers 100%
And you believe the NZ govt & authorities will have zero access to your overseas website ?

tin foil hat stuff ?
:p

Freedom of speech is an illusion. Pretty much sums up my thoughts too. Freedom of speech also doesn't mean anyone has to give you a platform. pcuser42 (130)

Unfortunately, I only use VPS servers now and have not kept up to date with web hosts but I will assume godaddy is still chugging along fine. So maybe check out the big players?

1466061 2020-01-25 23:20:00 I await with interest on the new forum of Digby's - will be "interesting" to see what eventuates with it.

I really wonder about a few things - one of which is the preference for a North Korea Web-host

Good luck with that!

Its very slow going for me, as I am only an amateur.
But I have my domain name
I have bought my forum software - Xenforo
And I have a webhoste site based in Bulgaria with servers in Singapore. (I was worried about North Korea being Nuked)
Give me a couple of days and I hope to have the forum running.
