Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Session 2: Industry Perspective

Dr. Monika Bickert:

I echo what Mr. Pancini said. I do not think this is related to the business model, which is largely a very good thing. There is abuse but the data suggest that polarisation has been increasing since the 1970s. That is a separate topic. We take abuse of politicians or others very seriously. We do not allow harassment, threats or hate speech. We are not perfect at enforcing that line but we are committed to getting it right. I welcome feedback from the Deputy.
