Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome Ms Sweeney and Ms Cummiskey and thank them for attending. They have always made themselves available to the joint committee and Members whenever they have raised issues. I have considerable sympathy for them in finding that they have to appear before the committee again to address issues of such a serious nature. While I accept that they also found the material deeply disturbing,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I will simplify because this is important. Can Ms Sweeney categorically say - and she does not have to - whether it is possible that somebody in Facebook was aware that this video of the child being abused by its stepfather was being used as part of an overall training programme?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I will be honest with Ms Sweeney; I am none the wiser. What I am trying to understand is how material like that gets used to assist in training moderators. It was very clear to me when I looked at it again that this was an example of material that Facebook would not delete even if it was requested to delete it-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I will be brief. Ms Sweeney referred to the possibility of appointing a digital safety commissioner but I get the sense there is some reticence. There are parallels in that reticence with the language of the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach has made his interest in Mr. Zuckerberg and Facebook known. He has shown great excitement about both. On the most recent occasion on which I saw the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Moderation of Violent and Harmful Content on the Facebook Platform: Discussion (1 Aug 2018)
