Engagement with Coimisiún na Meán on the 2023 Work Programme
Ms Niamh Hodnett:
I thank Deputy Munster and I will take this question. We issued a call for inputs in July in which we asked what type of harmful content we should cover in our first online safety code. As Mr. Godfrey mentioned, we received more than 50 responses to our call for inputs. We are reviewing these responses at present and we will consult on a definition of harmful content as part of the draft online safety code on which we will consult later this autumn. As Mr. Godfrey mentioned, the focus of our online safety code on harmful content will be the protection of minors, incitement to hatred, xenophobic and racist content, and terrorism.
