Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Session 1: The Evidence

Mr. Roger McNamee:

I would answer that question by saying that, right now, there are no disincentives for bad behaviour so we need to scale up the punishments by perhaps two orders of magnitude. The punishments need to be measured in trillions not millions of dollars. The companies need to understand that undermining democracy should be punishable by extermination of the company. There is no reason any company should have the right to be an enabler of the destruction of the society in which it lives.
