NZ would have turned Facebook off, and said precisely why - Facebook wanted the ability to continue to distribute videos showing a terrorist
murdering New Zealanders who were praying.
The NZ Government would have won that argument.
"Facebook refused to honour and respect our laws. They prefer to distribute illegal content, so we have turned them off at the border."
It wouldn’t happen. Facebook works because it’s more than social media. You have a market place, clubs, businesses, etc on Facebook.
When you take all that away because you can’t advertise your Facebook page. Or your parents can’t just open their phone to see photos of your baby. The effort outweighs the benefit and people won’t use a vpn to access it.
Just a fringe group of people who want the content no matter what.
