Dr. John Evans:

I thank the Deputy for his support, which is appreciated. I do not think of Coimisiún na Meán as being alone in this regulatory space. There is an equivalent to me in every EU country and there is also the European Commission, which has significant responsibility in this area. We often think of it not even as a network but rather as a system, like the system of financial regulation, which is much more mature than the online safety regime but similar in characteristics.

All the time we are looking at systemic risks on the platforms.

The Deputy called out political violence in particular. If content depicts gratuitous violence-----
