Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Karen White:
It is public data. I am referring to personal data. It is sensitive personal data such as the data that would be contained in a government ID, for example. We would have to examine that against the data minimisation principles of the general data protection regulation. We have always sought to collect as little personal, sensitive data about our users as possible. It could open us to a variety of challenges, not least the cybersecurity challenges we would be open to by holding that type of personal data. There is much debate still required about verification and what is meant by true and meaningful verification.
