Social Media
Dail Éireann — 2023-12-12
============================================================

Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

Some of these agitators are benefiting financially from the content they put up online. In fact, that is how they grow their status and following. They solicit people to fund their content, most of which is inflammatory and causes hate. This has been going on for a considerable time. I hope that during the Minister's engagement, particularly with the bigger companies, she relayed that this cannot go on. This is a threat to society. These people have a political ideology that is based on hatred and racism and they want to overthrow society. It is imperative that social media companies are held to account and that these people are also held to account. That is the most important thing here.
