IRD give private information to META?
My daughter has always been fanatical about privacy and in her younger days knew a very high-up person in the Microsoft world who told her 20+ years ago, not to give her private data to the world, as in years to come it will be used for all sorts of unknown purposes.
She followed this advice right through and you can imagine her anger when she received a letter from the IRD saying "Oops, sorry we gave all your personal data to Meta" (Not account Nos)
Paraphrased- "It was a simple mistake as we were asking Meta to solve a problem we had and sent yours plus other details to them by mistake"
Sorry.
Surly this can not be the end of such a critical personal data breach.
Any ideas?
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
