The media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, has published an updated draft Online Safety Code which will be submitted to the European Commission today for assessment.
Platforms will have to prevent the uploading or sharing of a range of illegal content, including incitement to hatred or violence. The DSA requires big tech firms to do more to police illegal and harmful content on their platforms, including restricting the spread of disinformation, quickly removing illegal content and better protecting children using the internet.
Coimisiún na Meán said that while it recognises that recommender systems can have harmful impacts on users, especially children, it will be best able to tackle the potential dangers of these systems through its implementation of the Digital Services Act. "Under the draft code, platforms also have to promote media literacy for their users, and publish reports on their efforts. Media literacy can help users to recognise disinformation, minimising its harmful effects," the regulator said.
