Mr. Dualta Ó Broin:

That is no problem at all. I will try to be as brief as possible.

On the Senator's question around user reports, I do not have the figure. We publish, on a quarterly basis, the amount of content we remove in each of the categories of our community standards and the portion that is discovered before a user reports it to us. Again, a key focus is prevalence and how much of this content is actually being viewed on our platforms.

Establishing the online safety commissioner immediately on an administrative basis would be a very good signal to send not just to everyone, but also, in particular, to other member states. It would signal that Ireland is taking the leadership role presented by the audiovisual media services, AVMS, directive and taking a very proactive approach to regulation in the space. We would be very keen to co-operate with such a body immediately.

There is a balance to be struck on the point of anonymity. The approach we take is that we have a real name policy. If a user or anyone has any doubt around whether somebody is not who they say they are, he or she can report it and we will verify the identity of the individual.
