As Ireland’s regulator for online safety, Coimisiún na Meán has developed rules and regulations within the Online Safety Code, which are rooted in Irish and EU legislation, following extensive consultation.
Under the Online Safety Code, video-sharing platforms are obliged to put measures in place to protect children from harmful content online, have age assurance measures where appropriate, provide parental controls and user-friendly, transparent reporting and flagging mechanisms.
Coimisiún na Meán is aware that Twitter International Unlimited Company (X) have lodged a judicial review against the Online Safety Code.
We will engage in this litigation process and will defend the Online Safety Code and its objective of keeping people, especially children, safe online.
An Coimisiún will not comment any further until the legal proceedings have concluded.
