General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Orla Twomey:
I will set out our sanctions. Advertising that is found in breach of the code must be withdrawn. We publicise our rulings as part of a "name and shame" approach, so it is a reputational issue. We are aware that there are issues around the scale of online advertising. We will be working with the EASA to develop tools to build on what has been done in other countries so that we can monitor at scale and address issues before they become complaints.
