Will the witnesses talk me through the process of having dangerous disinformation removed? If we look in the aftermath of the recent riots, An Garda Síochána has said it had contacted companies regarding online coverage, disinformation, the riots and the threats of violence. Coimisiún na Meán had also contacted companies similarly. What is the immediate procedure now? I do not want a long drawn-out answer. In layman's terms, what do companies do when they get those reports? What is done instantly? I will start with Meta and work down the list.
