Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Operation and Resourcing of Coimisiún na Meán: Digital Services Commissioner
Mr. Tiernan Kenny:
To clarify, there has perhaps been some confusion about our role. We have been accused of effectively being an online censor or having the power to order platforms to remove content arbitrarily. We are trying to hammer home the point that this is a systemic form of regulation. As Dr. Evans said, first and foremost, it is the platforms that are accountable for dealing with online content on their services rather than us being some kind of Internet police force.
