Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Karen White:
The issue of regulation really is one for law makers. We have certainly appreciated the collaborative approach of the committee, other committees and various Departments on this issue. I joined Twitter more than five years ago and remember one of the first consultations I undertook was with the Law Reform Commission. There has been a very collaborative approach. As our CEO has outlined, and as we have said on the record many times, we view regulation as a net positive. It can have very good outcomes. In this sense, we certainly view our role as educators and we work with Governments on trying to educate on the technologies available and how our services operate. Ultimately, it is for law makers to decide the breadth of that-----
