General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Mark Carpenter:
In the interests of collaboration, it makes sense to raise the point Mr. Coveney made earlier about the necessities of resources within this new online commission. It does not make sense that the potential areas where there is most harm are the least regulated. That is the situation we find ourselves in today. That is why it is going to be so important for this new media commission to be appropriately resourced, particularly in the area of online safety, to correct that current anomaly.
