Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Karen White:
On non-consensual nudity, which is how we classify it in Twitter, I mentioned "revenge porn" because it is a commonly known phrase. Concerning how we classify this type of content within our policies, it is non-consensual nudity. We have an absolute ban on the posting of that type of content on our services. There are times when users post rewards or bounties regarding posting of that type of content. In that case, we would institute an outright ban on those accounts and those users would be suspended from the service. We take that issue very seriously.
