I have one more question and it relates to Coimisiún na Meán's remit in monitoring for public order, etc. During the Dublin riots, a particular messaging system was used to co-ordinate people to go there. The messages were put up publicly. If people saw some of the communications, it would be easy enough to infer what was taking place. First, if that is going on, how quickly can someone like Coimisiún na Meán interdict that? Second, if it sees that happening - and it has happened - is Coimisiún na Meán in a position to approach the platform, state that it did not moderate its content or it allowed X, Y and Z to take place, and would it sanction them? People in the community and the public at large starting to see moderation in terms of companies paying fines is all that will tell them that moderation is happening on some of these things.

In respect of that, there are a number of those. They are like WhatsApp but they are not WhatsApp. It is the same type of platform. What is Coimisiún na Meán's control on something like that?
