What does the announcement mean?

"In response to increased censorship demands by eSafety in Australia and in the New Zealand, we will be removing all current blocks, including the Italy and Australia blocks to our website. Those blocks were an act of good will that was clearly taken advantage of and lauded as a victory. We are removing these blocks, effective immediately.

The New Zealand Government most recently sent a non-compliance letter regarding us self-censoring the forum on their behalf, which we refused. Here's the unredacted document: Document

All future censorship demands from any foreign government will be ignored and blocked. We do not answer to any foreign governments demands for censorship as many nations, such as Australia, don't believe in the concepts of freedom of speech or free expression and do not respect your rights to speak your mind.

Thank you for reading."


I don't understand the first sentence... what blocks are they referring to?

I'm not that sure but maybe it means this website was blocked in those countries. I've definitely read that this site was blocked in Italy and I'm not surprised for Australia as from what I've read Australia sounds like a very anti-suicide country.

It makes me wonder, should I be making copies of the info?

If there's information you see as being important then maybe it would be wise as I believe there is the risk that this site could disappear/become inaccessible at anytime

I'm from Italy and (at least for me) this site was never blocked. I never had to use a vpn.

I'm in NZ and it hasn't been blocked. I don't know what they mean by the notice but I hope SaSu stays accessible

SS did the right thing and blocked those countires as requested by them, suddenly anti SS people decided they had made it happen and we're gonna use it against us... So rightly so SS admin unblocked those countires as a screw you....

My degree is in Art History. I'm a fan of the Pre raphelites also. When Oscar Wilde was made bankrupt his collection was auctioned off to the vultures for a pittance. Have yu read Wilde, Morris or Ruskin?

This is so typical of this country. It is the epicenter of poltical correctness.
