Mr. Fionn McWeeney:

In the app we suggest that there should be significant fines for companies that have flagrantly ignored children's rights and the protection of children's rights . We suggest that there should be market regulation and that companies, no matter how big or small, should be held to a certain standard. Children's rights must always be protected and companies must be held accountable at the highest level. That is why we have suggested significant fines, in the first instance, when children's data is stolen or misused or when companies do not prevent children from accessing harmful content or misinformation, something that is extremely common at the moment.

We have also suggested banning offending companies from the Irish tech sector and setting up a complaints body for young people to contact if they think AI is being misused. These are only a copy of the recommendations that we have suggested. However, they are necessary steps to protect young people and to protect the data that is constantly being stolen, misused or abused in the current tech landscape.
