Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Session 4: International Collaboration

Ms Nino Goguadze:

My question is for all who wish to answer. The issue has already been covered in one of the statements but I would like to go a little more deep in discussing it. We know that there is no unified definition of hate speech or harmful content. There is no common understanding as to what constitutes information or fake news. There is no one certain definition for these terms. The legal frameworks of the countries show there is no common approach among countries towards regulations. Today, when we are discussing the possibility of parliamentary co-operation and how we can work together and address the challenges together, do we need to agree on basic definitions of terms or basic issues of regulation? Would this have a role in addressing the issue?
