Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison called Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone to a meeting to discuss ways to prevent distribution and livestreaming of violent videos, Financial Review wrote.

The ISPs are facing some government pressure, though. 'The ISPs' decision to block access to websites was controversial as they acted to censor content without instruction from either the Australian Communications and Media Authority or the eSafety Commissioner, and most smaller service providers have decided to keep access open,' The Australian Financial Review wrote. 'The ban on 4chan was lifted a few hours later,' AAP wrote.

Besides 4chan and 8chan, ISP-level blocking affected the social network Voat, the blog Zerohedge, video hosting site LiveLeak, and others. Telstra and Optus also blocked the sites in Australia. 'This was an extreme case which we think requires an extraordinary response,' Vodafone Australia said in a statement, according to an Australian Associated Press (AAP) article yesterday. In Australia, ISP Vodafone said that blocking requests generally come from courts or law enforcement agencies but that this time ISPs acted on their own. New Zealand ISPs have also been blocking websites that host the video.
