The witnesses are very welcome. I am a complete novice when it comes to many of the technical issues. I will try to express some of the concerns ordinary people have. Scams are the big one, with not a day going by on which people do not get a text on their mobile phone or a call on the house phone. I do not know anyone who has not been affected by it at this stage. It seems to happen all the time. What resources does Coimisiún na Meán have to tackle that type of fraud, not just online but through texts or at the front door? The pursuit of ad click revenue is leading to prompts such as "Simon Harris has been arrested" or stating that Micheál Martin has invested in something or other or has a skincare routine and all this type of old nonsense. The prompts seem to attract people. What can the coimisiún do about this?
