Legislation designed to establish a new Media Commission, the remit of which would include online content, might have to include specific references to combatting gender-based or sexuality-based harm, the Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht has been told.
The proposed legislation will include references to material that has the potential to intimidate, threaten, humiliate or persecute a person,but Celine Craig, the deputy chief executive of the BAI, suggested that gender-based violence might also be specifically included.
