Hello
Netsafe has received a report about a large volume of content on Facebook that
has been used to intentionally promote misinformation in relation to COVID-19 and
associated public health programmes including vaccinations. There are concerns
that this content is contributing to vaccine hesitancy and escalating the likelihood of
real world harm. The tone of this content has become increasingly aggressive over
recent months and much of this content includes clearly false exaggerations and
falsehoods in relation to COVID-19 and target public figures who are managing the
public health response in New Zealand.
This is the content reported to Netsafe:
https://www.facebook.com/
https://www.facebook.com/
https://www.facebook.com/

https://www.facebook.com/
https://www.facebook.com/
https://www.facebook.com/
The following account has also been flagged to Netsafe as an impersonation
account:
https://www.facebook.com
The report we received explains that this account is impersonating the New
Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern and there are concerns it may be misused
to share public messaging that is counter to authentic government
information/advice. The genuine account for the New Zealand Prime Minister is
available here: https://www.facebook.com
We request that you review this content against the Facebook Community
Standards, specifically the COVID-19 Policy Update and Protections.

Hello
Netsafe has received a report about significantly harmful misinformation that is being shared on Facebook. The content reported to us
makes the following claims:
The New Zealand Government is operated by paedophiles
The New Zealand Government is using coercion and bribery to have people vaccinated
The vaccination campaign in New Zealand is akin to psychological warfare
Tetanus shots given in schools may be other medicines such as the COVID-19 vaccine
Bomb threats were used as a cover to enact emergency management procedures in schools to vaccinate children while they are
uncontactable by family
This content has been shared primarily by three accounts:
https://www.facebook.com/
https://www.facebook.com/
https://www.facebook.com/
We note that the second account, (https://www.facebook.com/
, is not a recognised foundation for supporting people
with ADHD. It does not appear to have been registered with the New Zealand Charities Register or Companies Register. From what we
understand, this is an account masquerading as a foundation for mental health that is being used exclusively to promote fringe ideologies
such as the conspiracy theories above. There are serious concerns that this account could be mistaken for a genuine charity or mental
health support organisation and put vulnerable people and families at risk.
We ask that you review this content against the Community Standards for Facebook and take appropriate action.

Hello,
Netsafe have received a report from a concerned member of the public regarding a public post and video on Facebook of what appear to be
missiles being fired. The message attached to the video claims that this is proof that China and Taiwan are "at war now".
The report we received shared concerns that this will unnecessarily and misleadingly alarm people in their community. It is our
understanding that there has not been an outbreak of direct military conflict as claimed in the post. The video shows projectiles being fired
and loud noises of eruptions. According to the reporter, this has caused a great deal of fear, panic, and concern for other Facebook users.
We have shared a URL and screenshots below.

Hello
Netsafe has received a report an account on Facebook that has been used to repeatedly share
content that is promoting dangerous conspiracy theories and other misinformation.
The page reported to Netsafe is: https://www.facebook.com
Specifically, the following post links to a video on an external site that makes the following provably
false claims (among many others)
https://www.facebook.com/
1:38:25 - the speaker claims that the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer is 'smashing' your
immune system and that it 'does not work.' They further claim that all your body needs is
sunlight, vitamins and minerals that have not been tainted by chemtrails from the air,
citing another fringe conspiracy theory that toxic chemicals are being added to the
atmosphere by aeroplane.
1:51:25 - the speaker claims that schools are 'just state sponsored propaganda'
1:53:12 - the speaker claims that the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer is not a
vaccine and that it is a 'bio-weapon that is killing people.' They go on to claim that the
government are therefore 'certified serial killers'
1:53:50 - the speaker claims that this COVID-19 vaccine was 'created by China' to 'kill
off a few weak people'
It is our understanding that many individuals responsible for running this page, and even the page
itself, has previously been subject to moderation action by Meta and that this account has been

Hello
Netsafe has received a report about two Instagram accounts that have been used to promote
numerous conspiracy theories and spread harmful misinformation.
The accounts reported to us are:
1. https://www.instagram.com
2. https://www.instagram.com
Specifically, these accounts have been used to share the following posts:
(1) https://www.instagram.com
Promotes a conspiracy theory that feminism was a ploy by the Rockefeller family to move women out
of the home and into work where they could be taxed. In addition, they claim that feminism was also
a ploy to separate children from their mothers so that they could be indoctrinated in schools.
(1) https://www.instagram.com/
Shares a photo of a sign that claims, 'healthy children do not die of COVID." We note that this is a
provably false statement with many governments around the world reporting deaths among young
people from COVID-19 who had no comorbidities.
(2) https://www.instagram.com
Claims that natural immunity from infection of COVID-19 is equal to vaccination. Implies that the
vaccination program and lockdown measures were therefore a method of controlling the population.
(2) https://www.instagram.com
Claims that their previous Instagram account was removed by Instagram and they have therefore set
up a new account. We note that this is likely in breach of the Community Guidelines and/or
Community Standards for Facebook that prohibit circumventing account bans and moderation action.
They have also repeatedly promoted the website www.counterspinmedia.com. It is our
understanding that this website has been used to:
Attack someone through derogatory terms related to sexual activity (e.g. whore, slut).
Posting content about a violent tragedy, or victims of violent tragedies that include claims that
a violent tragedy did not occur.
Posting content about victims or survivors of violent tragedies or terrorist attacks by name or
by image, with claims that they are:
Acting/pretending to be a victim of an event.
Otherwise paid or employed to mislead people about their role in the event.
Calling for, or making statements of intent to engage in, bullying and/or harassment.
We ask that you review these accounts and it’s posts against the Community Guidelines for
Instagram, and all other applicable terms of service, and take appropriate action.

Subject Report to Facebook #155994 - In confidence
Hello
Netsafe has been made aware of an individual on Facebook who has begun using a new/alternative Facebook account to evade a ban on their original
Facebook account that happened last week. The individual concerned is
who we understand to have been at the centre of harmful
misinformation being shared on Facebook. A news article about the removal of their account last week by Meta moderators is available here
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/08/prominent-anti-mandate-protester-chantelle-baker-banned-from-facebook.html.
The new account they are using to evade this ban is:
This new account was first created in December of 2021 as far as we can tell. This account was barely active until this week when it began posting
content in high volume. These new posts that have appeared since the beginning of this week are from the perspective of
. This follows
the removal of
s Facebook page https //www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/08/prominent-anti-mandate-protester-chantelle-
baker-banned-from-facebook html. Since then, this account appears to have become the primary Facebook used by
. This is evidenced by
several posts on this page by
that have been recorded and posted in the first person.
It is clear that this individual is using a new/alternative account to evade a ban on their original Facebook account. We ask that you review this account
against the following Facebook Community Standard and take appropriate action.
We do not allow the use of our services and will restrict or disable accounts or other entities (such as pages, groups and events) if you:
Create an account, Page, group or event to evade our enforcement actions, including creating an account to bypass a restriction or after we have
disabled your previous account, Page, group or event.

Date:

Hello
Netsafe has received a report from a concerned member of the public about a Facebook user,
, that is using multiple accounts and pages to promote misinformation about COVID-19
vaccines. The member of the public has been able to link all three accounts based on this user posting
the same content on the member's Facebook page.
Account 1: https://www.facebook.com
Account 2: https://www.facebook.com
Page 1: https://www.facebook.com
The user
appears to make repeated claims that COVID-19 vaccines contain graphene, and
that this results in individuals being killed and/or sterilised as a result of the vaccine. Examples of this
claim across all three pages/accounts include:
1. https://www.facebook.com/
2. https://www.facebook.com/
3. https://www.facebook.com/
4. https://www.facebook.com/
5. https://www.facebook.com/
6. https://www.facebook.com/
We believe that this content and these claims are likely to violate Meta's Community Standards and
COVID-19 Policy Updates and Protections, by promoting misinformation discouraging good health
practices with claims about the safety or serious side effects of COVID-19 vaccines (death; infertility
or sterilisation) and claims that COVID-19 vaccines contain toxic, prohibited or harmful ingredients
(and) anything not on the vaccine list.
We ask that you review this content and these pages/accounts, and take appropriate action.
