Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

State Response to Online Disinformation and Media and Digital Literacy: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Ms Niamh McDonald:

Yes. We have to put the responsibility back on these multibillion profit-making organisations as my colleague has said. They have the tools, the energy and the resources to be able to remove and moderate the content. Small organisations like ours and the Government do not. We have to keep our focus on the people who have the power to remove it and how we can regulate that in a way that ensures all our communities, no matter who they are, where they come from, or how they identify, feel safe.
