Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht

General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Orla Twomey:

We have regular contact with Facebook and Google, but not with Twitter. TikTok is an organisation we will be engaging with. If we find that advertising is in breach of the code, Facebook and Google will ensure that if it is not withdrawn by the advertiser, they will withdraw it and take it down. It is about having that backstop to ensure there is a mechanism to have advertising that is in breach of the code withdrawn. Generally speaking, that is how we interact with Facebook and Google.
