The government is refusing to say whether police are using an Israeli-American private surveillance firm to scan people’s use of social media.
RNZ previously revealed immigration authorities had hired the controversial firm Cobwebs Technologies. Documents suggest another unidentified agency began using Cobwebs in October 2019.
The police have previously confirmed they began using a new Internet search tool in November 2019 after the mosque attacks, but would not name it.
