by Jem Traylen The government is being accused of helping Facebook and Google spy on New Zealanders when they browse government websites. While the use of web-tracking tools to sell products online has become more common, its undisclosed use by government agencies such as the Police, IRD and Waka Kotahi (NZTA) came as a complete surprise to Kent Newman, a PhD researcher at Victoria University of Wellington. Newman is researching the use of targeted advertising and said the government had made a major breach of privacy that people should care about. “People are accessing core services and the government is taking that information and is disclosing it to advertisers without telling people. When the government loses information, we care about it, it’s frontline news. We should care just as much if they are doing this systematically and purposefully – they are turning our information into a commercial product.”
