Hundreds of people called the former prime minister vile and dehumanising things online. Internet safety agencies did nothing - then called in the lawyers.

Also as far as I know there was no mechanism for laying a complaint with NZTech in September of 2023, but I could be wrong on that.
Either way, it says a great deal that this is how they choose to deal with a strongly worded letter holding them accountable for serious harm.
