Appearances
Yeah, and perhaps unsurprisingly given the scale of what happened on the M nine just a week ago, that we're still seeing kind of blanket coverage across all the Sunday papers.
Um but we are also still seeing some new developments.
And there's a couple of stories that I'd point to in particular, which are kind of building out a fuller picture not only of what happened, and there are very good long read narratives around what happened in the newspapers today, but also uh
about some of the kind of extraneous factors and other other things that we need to be thinking about and looking about looking at when it comes to this.
One in particular is um Wayne O'Connor's piece in The Sunday Independent.
He's been talking to people who seem to have worked in TikTok and we know that TikTok and social media and the effect that that has on the proliferation and sharing of content of illegal and dangerous activity has been central to the discussion after this.
So he's been talking to people who worked in TikTok in Dublin who basically say
that the company was standing down or lessening the degree of investment or resources they were allocating to content moderation.
So people would would develop kind of expert sets of skills when it came to looking at particular types of content.
So things like dangerous driving.
And they were being spread more thinly, being asked to keep their eye on various other pieces of content or decommissioned over time.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I mean look I think that we're all more or less familiar with regulators.
We think about stuff in the kind of utility space and they set the rules of play and if you're ac acting in that market you have to abide by those rules of play.
Believe it or not
Yeah, exactly.
And and look, the I think the problem is that there's a tension between what happens uh in the day to day lived experience of being on these social networks and the feeling that the the regulatory wheel moves so slowly and that the the safety of the online environment, the speed at which this content is produced and proliferates, is just so much faster than regulators or any agency.
agencies can can grapple with, you know, and I know that we have these huge fining powers and everything, but like I mean these these companies have a license to print money and that we have a regulatory apparatus which goes after the money, which seems sensible, but I would say a better way to do it is to go after the license.
Yeah, and look that's that's an argument as as as old as the hills and something that we in the media struggle to struggle to wrap our heads around, you know, because we can't understand how we're held to one standard and these guys can just say well we're just defamed
You're in trouble.
