Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion

12:00 pm

Ms Niamh Sweeney:

No. Ms Cummiskey can speak more to the exact number of violations. I am not sure that we reveal that number because it tells people how to game the situation. Tommy Robinson knows where the line is drawn when it comes to hate speech. He is very good at gaming it and staying just about on the right side of it. When Britain First lost its page, it was because it hit the limit on the number of violations permitted.
