General Scheme of the Digital Services Bill 2023: Discussion
Ms Sabha Greene:
Not directly. What the EU regulation does is impose obligations on the service providers, as I said, to have systems in place that make it easier to find who is posting and to have the stuff taken down. Our scheme is just giving the power to Coimisiún na Meán to make sure that the platforms have those systems in place. We are enforcing the obligations in the Digital Services Act. Our scheme is not concerned with enforcing on any individual piece of content. It is about the systems that are put in place by the platforms. The online safety legislation that was passed last year by the Oireachtas may have something in there, but I do not think so.
