Thursday night's Prime Time programme covered how unverified video clips from TikTok have been fuelling hate towards migrants
RTE Prime Time viewers have slammed a debate on how social media could be driving hate towards migrants.
However, viewers watching the show at home claimed that the panel debate lacked a range of opinions, with some calling it 'unbalanced'.In the Prime Time report, ISD senior analyst Ciarán O’Connor said he has seen a rising trend of the circulation of accusations about sexual violence by migrants. Mr Richmond said: "They shouldn't be able to and that's why we strengthened legislation to bring in real, meaningful change. The online media safety regulation bill was passed just over Christmas. We'll see the online media safety commissioner put in office next week.
Mr Richmond was questioned by Prime Time presenter Fran McNulty on whether these pieces of proposed legislation could stop online hate. One person writing on Twitter said that despite legislation, it would be impossible to monitor every video that was uploaded online.
