Current system ‘has lots of carrots and no sticks’
Social media firms should appear in Irish criminal courts, Minister says
The Cabinet minister overseeing Ireland’s newest Big Tech regulator says he would like to see social media platforms “in the criminal courts” for neglecting to protect children online.
Patrick O’Donovan, minister at the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media which set up Coimisiún na Meán, also described swathes of the sector as “rotten” with a system summed up by “lots of carrots and no sticks”.
