Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)
Jim O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay South, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
We are looking, in part, at harmful publications and communications. It is a very vague term. As I said last week, people should be allowed to be critical of politicians. That could be categorised as harmful and is not what we are talking about here. An example which we will all agree is harmful, illegal and should not be facilitated is child pornography, an issue raised by Ms Niculescu. I am sorry to be blunt about this but do the witnesses agree that their businesses have increased the incidence of child pornography significantly throughout the world?
