New Zealand Spy Agency Deleted Evidence About Its Illegal Spying On Kim Dotcom

An anonymous reader writes "The latest news in this: GCSB appears to have deleted key evidence in the case in a ham-fisted attempt to cover up its illegal activities. Even more ridiculous, GCSB is trying to cover this up by claiming that the material had 'aged off' — implying that it was deleted automatically. New Zealand Prime Minister John Key claims that they had to delete the information under the law. Of course, there are a few problems with that. The first is that under New Zealand law, like most countries these days, parties have an obligation to preserve documents likely to be necessary in a legal case. But, even more damning is that there's video of John Key in the New Zealand Parliament trying to defend against an earlier claim that GCSB had deleted some evidence by insisting that GCSB does not delete anything ever:"

    If it's as bad as you say (I haven't seen it yet) then there's a simple answer. Boycott the site for a week. Everybody.

    You can bet that classic will be back up and running if you do that.

    Can't live a week without slashdot? You're part of the problem.
