>While the manifesto – a meme-laden soup of troll-tastic nihilistic nonsense – has been outlawed in New Zealand for inciting murder and terrorism, the file continues to circulate in underground forums.
Please don't share from theregister if they're going to write articles like this. People have read the manifesto themselves and seen what it contains - to try and spread FUD around it gives it more credence than it deserves.

I haven't read this particular manifesto, and won't. But I do disagree with writings being outlawed.
That probably seems like an odd position to take, but the extreme counter-example is there was a year when the US Declaration of Independence was a violence-inciting manifesto.
I'm not saying this guy's manifesto is like the Declaration of Independence of course. What I'm saying is, if I live in a society that has to outlaw BOTH or NEITHER, I choose neither.
