As I stated in my response to the Priority Question under Ministerial Questions on Tuesday, 10 November 2020, content moderators working for social media platforms play an important role in preventing the wider distribution of explicit content on these platforms.
As I said in the Dáil, I will meet with these workers and/or their representatives to hear at first-hand about any particular health and safety concerns that they might have associated with the work that they carry out. As the Deputy is aware, my office is now in the process of arranging such a meeting.
