Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ian Power:
We all recognise that we need State regulation. Self-regulation is not enough. These initiatives that the companies have established, from our perspective, are hugely welcome. They give us the opportunity to highlight the edge cases and that their overall systems do not work. There is very little point in saying referring to a certain amount of take-downs. There is a percentage of real people who are in situations where content that has affected them has not been removed.
