General Scheme of the Digital Services Bill 2023: Discussion
Ms Sabha Greene:
No, financial fraud will still be treated the same way. A person will go through the Garda and all of that. That it is online should not be material for that investigation, as I understand. The Digital Services Act - the regulation - is not actually concerned with individual pieces of content or practices online. It is trying to get the platforms to put in place systems such as an internal complaints system, create more transparency and provide more information on their recommender systems, etc., to give us, the users, more control, for a start but also to make it more likely that people will flag up to them that there is illegal content they need to take down or a fraudster is operating on their service and they need to tackle that. It does not go into the substance of any particular illegal or harmful content.
