Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ryan Meade:

I do not think that is the case. There is one wrinkle, which is that our policies sometimes allow for public figures. The allowable speech about public figures can be different from what is allowed concerning a private citizen. Extra nuance can be required when a reviewer is deciding whether content violates our policy, depending on who the speech is aimed at.
