Subject: [EXTERNAL] - Official Information request - Provide information as to why you censor reasonable opinion on some of your facebook posts

Dear Radio New Zealand Limited,

Please provide a copy of any protocols or policies you maintain which provide information in respect to censorship of your social media internet pages.

Please provide information as to why you censor reasonable opinion on some of your facebook posts, specifically this one on Merck's novel Covid antiviral molnupiravir, where your article claims Merck's drug; “is the first oral antiviral treatment for Covid to report clinical trial results” (that being a complete nonsense; see https://www.biznews.com/thought-leaders/...)

"Covid antiviral pill can halve risk of hospitalisation"

My intention was to place this information on your facebook post;

https://www.facebook.com/gregfullmoon/po... where you had not censored me

Yours faithfully,

Greg Rzesniowiecki
