Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Online Advertising and Social Media (Transparency) Bill 2017 and the Influence of Social Media: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Joel Kaplan:
While he can correct me, I think the essence of the Deputy's question will be reflected in the GDPR and our compliance with it. Getting the type of consent from online behavioural advertising and targeting is an important part of the GDPR's requirements and our intent is to comply with that. I am hopeful that it will now evolve quite quickly in the direction the Deputy laid out.
