Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Protection of Children in the Use of Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Niamh McDade:

I will just come in quickly on the point around ads, just to confirm that fraud and scams, including any financial scams, are a violation of our rules and policies. Regarding scams more broadly on the platform, not just paid advertising, that is also a violation of our rules and policies. We will action that content through proactive enforcement. We also accept user reports and we engage with law enforcement on that topic as well. To provide an example of some of our engagement in that space, alongside TikTok and Meta we are part of a voluntary charter on tackling online fraud and scams in the UK. That is something that certainly could be discussed for putting in place in Ireland as well. Part of that is direct engagement with law enforcement, piecing together what they are seeing, what we are seeing and trying to bridge the gap between any information sharing there. It is certainly an interesting space. This is something we absolutely prohibit on our platform. There is no space for that type of content. I think there was a specific reference to money muling, which is also a violation of our policies.
