Why the New Zealand Internet Filter against Child Pornography Is an Infringement of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990

Abstract

This paper deals with the New Zealand internet filter against child pornography which came into being in 2010 after already being tested from 2007 to 2008. It will offer a short background, give a summary of how it works and then explain why the New Zealand internet filter is a bad idea, because it breaches the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, specifically s 14.
