To Jai Ganesh 

 

Request for access to information held by Netsafe 

 

Thank you for your email of December 17, 2022 and your subsequent email to
us on January 11, 2023. We understand you have now narrowed your request
to the following information Netsafe holds: 

All correspondence with Twitter, YouTube, and Google about COVID-19 and
misinformation in general between December 2019 and December 2022 where
they relate to content and account removal.  

 

As per our email to you on December 22, 2022, Netsafe has a charging
policy for Official Information Act requests, in line with [2]the standard
charging regimes set by the Ministry of Justice. Where Netsafe decides to
release information, we may charge you $38 per half hour of work that
exceeds one hour. 

 

Netsafe has undertaken an initial search of the records we hold that
relate to your request. We estimate a likely charge of $380 incl GST which
includes time spent in excess of one hour to search for, retrieve, collate
and review this information. You would be required to pay any invoice
before information is released. 

 

If you wish to narrow the scope of your request any further please let us
know, otherwise we will proceed to review this information and make a
final decision on your request.    
 

Regards,

To Jai Ganesh

 

Request for access to information held by Netsafe

 

Thank you for your email of December 17, 2022 and your subsequent email to
us on January 11, 2023 in relation to your request for information under
the Official Information Act 1982.

 

The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our
decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we
received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that
time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of
the time to make our decision to February 16, 2023. 

 

An extension is required as this request necessitates a search through a
large volume of information, and further consultations to make a decision
on the request are necessary. 

 

You have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman about the
extension under section 28(3) of the OIA

 

Regards,

 

Netsafe

withheld under section 9(2)(ba) of the OIA on the basis that they are
email addresses that have been provided to Netsafe in confidence and are
not publicly available. You have the right under [2]section 28(3) of the
OIA to seek an investigation and review of this decision.  

 

Netsafe has a charging policy for Official Information Act requests, in
