I want to expand on Deputy Chambers's point about social media as it relates to ongoing trials. I know the issue is a hot potato and it was flagged by cases such as the Jobstown trial. Would this matter be considered by the digital safety commissioner? The information might not necessarily be posted by the defendant but the influence on the trial may be considered positive or negative.
