I welcome Ms Haugen and I commend her on and thank her for the work she has done for the public good. Moments such as Cambridge Analytica, the documentary "The Social Dilemma" and Ms Haugen's testimony to Congress give us an insight into what goes on under the hood of big tech giants. What Ms Haugen is doing is very powerful. I thank her for that, which, probably, is something whistleblowers need to hear that from legislators.

I had also intended to ask Ms Haugen about Ireland's reputation in the tech world but I will instead move to the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022 which, as mentioned by my colleague, commenced in the Seanad last night. As of publication, the Bill does not include an individual complaints mechanism for citizens who have exhausted all avenues with social media companies to find some resolution or a mechanism for the State to help that citizen to find a resolution. Given Ms Haugen's experience in this industry, why is it necessary to have that mechanism?
