Mr. Dualta ? Broin:

It is similar to the response I gave to Deputy O'Sullivan. Our intention and objective is to apply the policies fairly, regardless of who the user is or where they are coming from. The issue is the content or the behaviour, either of which can be violating, and the intention is to apply that fairly and equitably. It would not make sense if we were to take any other type of approach because we would then be accused of being partisan, which would lead us down a path that would be extremely difficult for us to follow. That is our intention and it is what we are telling regulators we are doing. We are outlining in reports that we are applying these policies objectively and, obviously, regulators will then make a decision on whether we have done so.

Moreover, our community standards are not standing still. They are not set in stone, and that is one of their strengths in contrast with laws, which are. They are constantly evolving, we are constantly learning from things that happen and we constantly update them to ensure they are right where they need to be. We do that by consulting not just law enforcement experts and regulators but also NGOs throughout the world and fundamental rights organisations to ensure we are getting the balance right, but it is a tricky balance to achieve.
