Ireland s online safety bill could clash with EU law, says Facebook

Facebook says that Ireland should reconsider introducing an upcoming national online safety law because it is likely to clash with binding EU law currently being passed. In a submission to an Oireachtas Committee, Facebook’s policy directors say there are 17 different areas in which the Online Safety and Media Regulation (OSMR) Bill might fall foul of the upcoming Digital Services Act (DSA) from the EU. “Given the significant overlap in both timing and scope between the [Irish online safety bill] and the DSA, serious consideration should be given by the Government to pausing progress on the [bill] and waiting until the DSA is adopted to avoid unnecessary duplication of work and ensure that consistency between the two regimes can be achieved,” said Facebook’s head of public policy for Facebook, Dualta O’Broin.

Slow adoption of law could delay Irish online safety commissioner until 2024

Slow adoption of law could delay Irish online safety commissioner until 2024 Independent.ie 11/03/2021 Adrian Weckler Ireland’s online safety commissioner will not fully be in place until 2024, social media networks believe. The delay could infuriate other EU countries, who are already angry at Ireland for what they see as being too lax in its approach to regulating Irish-based tech giants. In a formal submission to the Oireachtas Committee on Media’s consultation on the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill (OSMR), Facebook says it does not expect the State to have the watchdog up and running for three years. This is because of the slow passage of the bill through the Oireachtas and work yet to be done in selecting the Commission and defining the scope of its powers.
