Latest CYFSWATCH media report (Newstalk ZB, TV3).

Threatening Internet post deleted - then re-posted5/02/2007 15:12:03

A battle of wills is underway in Cyberspace.

Internet giant Google has deleted a threatening post on the controversial name and shame CYFSwatch website.

However the website has flouted internet protocol and re-posted the item.

The deleted item contained threats to social workers - with the writer saying they would be "watching and waiting and never far behind"

Internet specialist, David Farrar, says Google was right to delete it, and flouting Google's terms and conditions may result in the website being shut down.

Mr Farrar says, although many are sympathetic to the grievances aired on the blog sit, there is a limit to what Google can accept.
