Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-02-08
============================================================

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I think the Minister of State is doing a dance around what I said. The Digital Services Act does not define hate speech but this Bill, in conjunction with the Hate Speech Bill and the EU Hate Speech Bill is very dangerous. It has implications worldwide but particularly for people in Ireland and in the EU. I wanted to make that point.
