A mechanism allowing people to make complaints about content posted on social media will be set up on a phased basis over the coming years, and will start with complaints relating to children.
Tech companies would be “bound” to sign up to the online safety codes once they are drafted, and will be given a year to put them into practice before complaints can be made.
Complaints would be made to the online media regulator Coimisiun na Mean, which is expected to be set up early next year.
