Many people thought it wouldn’t happen (even myself) but the blackout protest taken out across the New Zealand internet (and beyond), has come to a fantastic conclusion.
Earlier today Chris Finlayson of National had announced that the controversial law, Section 92A, will be delayed until March 27th. However, if the ISPs do not have a code ready by then, the law may be suspended.
Furthermore, if an agreement is made, then a review will be made six months afterwards to make sure the law is working as it was intended.
Of course, it isn’t completely over, the law is still there, but this is a huge outcome for a protest that started with many skeptics – let’s face it, how many of these online protest have had any positive outcome at all?
Congratulations to the Creative Freedom Foundation who set off the whole thing, and all those involved.
