The BAI publishes proposal to regulate social media

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) has published a submission on the regulation of “harmful online content”.  The submission proposes new statutory regulation for online content including videos, a national framework for online safety and the implementation of the EU’s revision of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. All EU member states are required to bring the provisions of the directive into law by 2020. Well, to discuss this issue, Ivan was joined by Dr. Ciaran McMahon, Author of Psychology of Social Media who is not in favour of the BAI regulating social media and also by Dr. Mary Aiken, Cyberpsychologist & Author, who is in favour of the BAI regulating social media.
