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

 

Ms Susan Moss:

I just want to say as an aside that there are reporting obligations under the DSA and under Coimisiún na Meán which are forthcoming. Under the code of practice on misinformation to which TikTok is a signatory, it has a co-regulatory process. I would implore regulators and policymakers to read those as they give a good indication of how we are performing individually as companies as regards some of the concerns which the committee has raised. Of the people who work in TikTok who self-identify as Gaeilgeoirí, I am sure there are many more but there are variations in language ability, which include myself.

We will continue to increase that and to support them in the best way we can. Irish, of course, has found its place on TikTok. There are thousands of creators creating in Irish on TikTok every day and we are looking to the committee to support them in their development.
