Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Session 3: The State of Play in Regulation

Mr. Tom Packalén:

I would like to ask Mr. Cesarini about the work of the European Commission. Fact-checking is an important part of the growing problem of false media and fake news on the Internet. It is a difficult question when there is clear fake news and when we should somehow verify where the limit is. There is no one truth in the world when it comes to difficult and controversial questions such as climate warming. It is very difficult to say what is fact and what is not. I ask Mr. Cesarini to speak about what the SOMA project is doing. How are the things it is working on chosen? I would like to open up this question. How is the project seen in the European Commission?
