Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-26
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

Amendment No. 185 concerns "encryption backdoors" or "scanning” and so on. I suggest that we put in the appropriate language of necessity and proportionality to ensure that we do not inadvertently create a context whereby this clause on safety codes could be part of inappropriately wide surveillance.
