Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Claire Rush:

Yes, that is the case if they are breaching the rules. Some people, however, do it unintentionally, such as minors uploading something and not realising what they have done. We would not necessarily apply a penalty on their accounts. We might just send educational messages to let those people know that sharing that type of content is not appropriate, they should be more careful in future and refrain from that type of behaviour.
