Totally agree with these posts. The HCDA 2015 makes it clear that doxxing, threats and online harassment can be illegal in Aotearoa when they cross the line into causing serious emotional distress. If Danni is screenshotting posts, sharing names or making accusations online, she might want to consider whether her behaviour meets those legal thresholds because serious cases can be reported to Netsafe or even the Police.
Let's be real. No one here is supporting stalking, threats or sending letters. That is not what this forum is about and the vast majority of us know where the line is. Criticising influencers who put content in the public domain is not a crime. But calling people dangerous or stalkers without evidence is defamatory and it is reckless to throw those terms around online, especially when it could cause real harm to others.
What is actually ironic is that Danni and Ellie are the ones behaving like bullies. They have the bigger platforms, the followers, and the influence, yet they are using that power to shame and intimidate people who cannot respond in the same way. That power imbalance matters, and it is exactly why their behaviour should be held to account.
Dragging Tattle NZ into this overseas court case is a reach. The legal systems are not the same and New Zealand has its own protections and thresholds. If Danni and Ellie are so concerned, maybe they should stop posting about it every day and take a proper legal route. Otherwise it just looks like intimidation to scare people into silence.
Here's the reality check: calling someone with a public platform a c*nt on an anonymous forum isn't illegal under New Zealand law. Harsh opinions about public figures don't meet the threshold for criminal harassment. Don't let the intimidation tactics work, lawful criticism is still lawful, even when it's blunt.
