I have seldom been so shocked by a comment as by having my very existence made the moral equivalent of a state-sanctioned murder.

Are you for leaving ISIS beheadings up on social platforms as well? Those are "legal" in the jurisdiction where they happened (self-proclaimed caliphate and all that). What about CSAM from countries with lax laws about those things?

Your comment about LBTQ+ is interesting. That is most likely blocked in backwards countries where things like that are illegal, or various platforms would face consequences in those jurisdictions.

The purpose of the death penalty itself is vengeance. It does nothing to prevent crime, it just promotes a culture of violence. How can a government condemn murder when engaging in it themselves?

Livestreamed or not, this is immoral and Australia are quite right to try to block it. All countries should be seeking to do the same.

It is worse *not* live-streaming it?

The purpose of the live-stream *is* the ugly thing. It is not a retribution from the state meted out on the perpetrator. It is propaganda. It is similar to ISIS beheadings.

I hope you did not mean that the propaganda is a good thing in this case.
