Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community

Ms Susan Moss:

Freagróidh mé an cheist seo i mBéarla. The Deputy raises a very good point around authoritative information. There are two aspects to this. As a company, we partner with accredited IFCN fact checkers. We work with fact checkers who scan media and content, not just on TikTok but across the Internet. That helps us to intervene and work with our misinformation moderators to fact-check content as it comes through. As to the point on authoritative information, it is critically clear the Irish Government, the regulators and public authorities should be on a platform like TikTok, which is very popular in this country and which has more than 2 million users here, so that their voices and information can be distributed on the platform. We need those authoritative voices. I just wished to make that claim.
