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:"

    OMFG... its gone all Windows 8ish.....

    Still, i remember everyone whining when the old classic was phased out and the current look and feel came in. Talks of mass boycotts etc... nothing happened. Give it a few months and everyone will be happily using the new version of the site.

    Personally, i wish we could go back to the old, old version. But hey ho, and along as slashdot keeps providing me with entertainment*, ill read it.

    * = note, i said entertainment. News quality is a separate issue.
