The valid poll here is expected to be around 23,000.

Yeah, so representatives from social media giants, Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, Google and Microsoft have been this morning, I suppose, trying to convince members of the Oireachtas Committee on Children and Equality that they are committed to ensuring children's safety online.

I certainly did when I was watching the committee live.
I'm sure many parents...
would raise an eyebrow when they hear that social media platforms are saying that these, you know, the likes of TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook are not designed to be addictive.
