Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Social Media: Discussion (Resumed) with Twitter and Facebook

10:40 am

Ms Sinéad McSweeney:

The Deputy is referring to a meeting we had recently with the Minister, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, in France. She raised concerns with us about illegal content on the platform, such as anti-Semitic content. We explained to her some of the concepts I mentioned earlier to the committee, such as the facility whereby we can withhold illegal content. We also spoke to her about our corporate responsibility, our programmes around promoted tweets for good and highlighting information and resources that are available to people who might feel uncomfortable with some of the content on the platform.
