The committee backed the creation of an Online Safety Commissioner
An Oireachtas Committee has recommended a new content levy be charged on big streaming services to fund independent productions.
A report from the Media Committee has also said an independent online safety commissioner be set up to police harmful content.
#123OnlineSafety campaign welcomes the Media Committee's recommendation for an individual complaints mechanism that is “responsive to the needs and protection of children, and that these include effective takedown procedures.”https://t.co/se7t3pq6CA @NiamhSmythTD @malcolmbyrne

The Committee report says online advertising for fatty foods, alcohol and gambling should be banned.
Fianna Fáil Senator Malcolm Byrne joined Ciara Noble on Thursday's edition of Kildare Today.
On harmful content, Senator @malcolmbyrne said, “You’d hope that they would take it down themselves in the first instance. But if there’s a failure to do that, then action should be taken.” #OSMRBill #123OnlineSafety https://t.co/VYLnBi6Ssu via @IrishTimes
