From: Jack Tallott
Dear NetSafe Incorporated,
I am writing to request copies of the investigation into the alleged 'hacking' of NZ First MP Tanya Unkovich's Facebook account.
On 15/05/2024 Tanya Unkovich was quoted by RNZ (https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/516...) that NetSafe was investigating the alleged hacking of her social media account which led to the alleged hacker posting anti-trans activism, as well as having conversations over Messenger being actively discriminatory and aggressive towards members of the trans community.
I eagerly await the findings of this investigation, if there was even one to begin with.
Yours faithfully,
Jack Tallott
