Operation and Resourcing of Coimisiún na Meán: Digital Services Commissioner

Mr. Tiernan Kenny:

There are different areas of legislation now. Some of that would be consumer protection legislation and some of that would be privacy legislation. Coimisiún na Meán's role would be to make sure the terms and conditions are clear and understandable. We have the contact centres so if we start to hear from users that they cannot understand what is being said to them, as the Deputy said, in these very lengthy documents and if a user feels their data is being used in a way that was not necessarily made clear to them at the point of signing up, that is something we could take up with the platforms if we felt there was a systemic issue.
