Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion

Mr. Michael Gubbins:

One finds that most of these social media companies will quote their community rules. If one asks for something to be taken down, they will say that it does not breach the rules. As a country and as citizens, we have to challenge those community rules. The committee will have an opportunity to address this next week, but I do not think that will get us where we want to be. It will have to be regulated and legislated for.
