Maybe it will be good for a while ...

I was curious about the NZ shooting and wanted to read the shooter's "manifesto" and perhaps watch the video.
Unsuprisingly, TPTB decided that I wasn't politically correct enough to merit access to that information and began purging the Internet of all copies, or even fragments, of that media.

I found them in a dark corner of the web anyway and watched the video and read the manifesto. The video wasn't any different from the videos showing the murders of the French, English, or the massacre of almost 150 Nigerian Christians last week by Muslim extremists. The manifesto was similar to that of the MIT bomber a decade ago. IMO, filled with nonsense from across the political spectrum.

A programmer in NL noticed that his posts on various subjects were being removed as fast as he could post them if they contained certain words or phrases, so he wrote a short program to transform the text into something which wouldn't trigger censorship but could easily be read. I don't know how long this technique will continue to work but here is his code:

// app to transform text into script which does not use english langage characters but 
// is easy to read.
// this is to tharwt forum censorship which triggers on certian words for phrases.
//  g++ -Wall -o transformtext transformtext.cpp
//
//  To use execute the command and when you are finished typing press Crtl+D
//  Copy and past the transformed text into the forum text box.
//  The code was here : http://markwiering.nl/newzealandshooting.html
//  but the powers that be think they have the right to control what you see and what 
//  you can post.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
//#include "vector.h"
//#include "splitter.h"
