Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

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

Dr. Pierre François Docquir:

I think there was a question about humour and satire and the intersection between international or European human rights law and local values and local harms. In certain situations the international human rights law might push for some change or progress in local norms and in other situations it is clear that the limits of humour or the limit of acceptable speech can be decided only in light of the national context. Once again, this is where we see the importance of having content moderation oversight organised at the national level.
