Ms Claire Dil?:

We share information with law enforcement when it comes to child sexual exploitation content. We also have an obligation to share information with law enforcement in cases of imminent threat to life or physical harm to a person. We also have a legal obligation to do so under the Digital Services Act for child sexual exploitation or any threats to life to a person, so we would share with the point of contact in the EU member state and by default with Europe. We also share with the Irish law enforcement agency.

It is also a good question when it comes to anonymity. There is no such thing as anonymity on X. It is more the possibility for people to use pseudonyms. The reason we do it is because some people might feel more comfortable using X without disclosing their real identity, for example, if they are not comfortable with their sexual orientation, if they are a whistleblower or if for one reason or another, they do not want to use X with their real identity. In some countries, this might be more important for them. I assure the Senator that even if someone uses a pseudonym, we work with law enforcement, and when we work and co-operate with law enforcement, under the request, we would give it some information for it to identify the person behind the pseudonym.

For instance, it can be IP logs of an email address or a phone number, so if even if a person is using a pseudonym on X, if we have a report from law enforcement we will still give the information for them to be able to identify a potential offender. That is the first thing. The second thing I want to say is the fact people have anonymity does not mean they have impunity on social media. Even if they are not using their real name, our rules will still apply if they are violated, up until account suspension. I will leave my colleague, Ms McDade, to answer the question on suicide and self-harm.
