Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Operation and Resourcing of Coimisiún na Meán: Digital Services Commissioner

Dr. John Evans:

Through the supervision activity I described, we will get a sense of where the risks are. As part of that supervision, we will do a certain amount of intelligence gathering outside the contact centre. We are thinking of ways to do that as well. We cannot take on the role of general monitor of the Internet. The whole spirit of the DSA is that the platforms themselves will take primary responsibility for illegal and harmful content. However, we will invest in some kind of intelligence gathering.
