Hello,
I’m emailing on behalf of Netsafe about a complaint reported to us under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015. The complaint is about a post on your blogsite dated 8 July 2016:https://kiwifarms.is/threads/troy-rangi.22252/
Netsafe has reviewed the complaint using the responsibility we have under the Act to help people with online bullying, harassment and abuse. We have determined that the blog content may be causing harm and ask for your assistance.
As the owner of this blog there are some steps you might want to take in the next 48 hours to help resolve this complaint including:
1. Moderating or deleting the post/comment if you think it is inappropriate; or
2. Forwarding this email to the author of the content and asking them to contact me about their options.
It would be appreciated if you/the author could confirm what action you have taken to help minimise the harm caused to the person who made the complaint.
If Netsafe is unable to resolve this complaint with you, then the person who made the report has the option to go to the District Court. This may result in court ordered action.
You can find out more about the legislation here: http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2015/0063/latest/whole.html
If you have any questions or would like more information, please let me know.
Regards,

Hello Tegan,
I'm afraid that the Kiwi Farms is not actually from New Zealand and there is no action you may take to enforce a New Zealand judgement.
As an expert on the subject, I am sure you are aware of what safe harbor provisions are and how you may not hold webmasters liable for content posted by individuals. The Kiwi Farms is not a blog, it is a forum, and as stated in its terms of service and at the bottom of every page, we do not pretend to own the content posted there. Your endeavors are misguided and you should instead target those who own the content.
Happy New Years,
