The government is taking action against extremist content online, including hate speech and incitement to violence. Ireland's new online safety and media regulator, along with the European Commission, will address these issues under the EU Digital Services Act. They have engaged with major platforms, the GardaĆ, and the European Commission, activating instant response plans. Reporting hate speech and illegal content to the platforms or the regulator is encouraged. Once fully operational, the regulator will allow direct reporting for ignored or rejected complaints, aiding oversight, investigations, and enforcement. The first online safety code, holding video sharing platforms accountable for user content and addressing extremist content, will be adopted in early 2024. This marks a new era of empowerment for regulators and the public to create a safer online environment.
