Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Protection of Children in the Use of Artificial Intelligence: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Niamh McDade:

I thank the Deputy for the question. Yes, we have an onboarding process for advertisers on the platform, meaning they go through a range of different checks. I am happy to follow up on the specifics of that with our advertising team and the safety team involved with that. We have a process in place and they go through a number of checks before they are onboarded to advertising on our platform. In addition to that onboarding process, they must abide by our terms and conditions for advertisers which, as I said, prohibit the advertising of fraudulent, scam ads, all of that, as well as our wider rules and policies.
