Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Online Content Moderation: Discussion

Ms Isabella Plunkett:

I thank the Deputy for his question. Definitely. I do not know how or in which way this will be approached but I believe there needs to be some form of legislation. The way I feel is that a person just does what he or she is told and cannot speak or is unable to say how he or she feels or anything like that. I believe some kind of concrete legislation is needed so that content moderators, who would not be able to speak today or have the confidence to do so , can at least refer to that. It would be in writing so, of course, that would always be helpful. I thank the Deputy again. I hope that answers his question on my behalf.
