Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Karen White:

The purpose is to try to educate that particular user that they have broken the rules. Consistent rule violations will result in permanent suspension. If a user engages in violent threats, for example, that could lead to the permanent suspension of their account. If law enforcement was to trigger an investigation on the back of behaviour like that, we can work with it as part of its investigation. There are different enforcement actions that we can take depending on the rules that have been violated.
