Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Session 2: Industry Perspective

Dr. Monika Bickert:

To be clear, we are not the truth police for the world. We do not remove content simply for being false outside of a couple of small areas such as if there is an immediate threat to safety and a safety partner has confirmed for us that there is an imminent risk of harm or if somebody misrepresents voting times, locations and processes. Generally, when we use those third party fact-checking organisations, we do not remove content they say is false; we mark that as having been rated false by the fact checker and we put the information from the fact checker next to it.
