Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Niamh Sweeney:

Obviously, there is a difference between a page and a profile. Fake profiles absolutely violate our rules. We do our best to get our enforcement to the right stage. I would encourage Deputy Funchion to do it again. I hope that in some of those instances the Deputy will have seen the right outcome.

We find that fake accounts are behind many of the issues that arise, whether spam or the spread of misinformation to behaviour that people find objectionable.
