Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Ms Frances Haugen
Ms Frances Haugen:
I thank the committee for the opportunity to be here. This has been a very special experience for me. Part of my family is Irish and I am named after my Irish grandmother, Geraldine Frances Sommerville. It is a big treat for me to be here. I am aware that Ireland has a history of being a small country but one that has had an outsized impact on the world's history. Ireland has stood up to strong, powerful forces before in the world. I know that Ireland can build a strong enforcer that keeps the world safe and speaks up for people like the Rohingya who have pressed so well their voice to stand up to this trillion dollar company.
I thank the committee for inviting me today. It has been an honour.
