My question relates to the complaints issue raised by Deputy Dessie Ellis. I have not participated in the virtual world as frequently as younger generations and, in some ways, politicians are playing catch-up. Perhaps other politicians are more adept than I am. Are the complaints YouTube receives in other jurisdictions similar to those it receives in Ireland or do they differ, particularly on the cyber bullying issue?
