Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Karen White:
As I mentioned previously, I sympathise with the family, which was subjected to a range of behaviours, not just on Twitter but also on other services. Where we found that there were behaviours and content in violation of our rules, we took action.
There has been a focus on one specific account. I am sure the Chairman will appreciate why I cannot get into a conversation about it but that is not to say it would have been the only account regarding which reports would have been received by Twitter or content would have been surfaced proactively by us in respect of which action would have been taken. Therefore, I believe there is a broader issue.
