Ireland's media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán, has introduced an Online Safety Code that will take effect next month, targeting video-sharing platforms like TikTok and YouTube. The Code mandates restrictions on harmful content, including cyberbullying and self-harm promotion. It emphasizes a notice-and-takedown approach rather than requiring upload filters. Platforms must enforce terms prohibiting harmful uploads and provide age verification for adult content. This initiative aims to enhance user safety and aligns with Ireland's broader Online Safety Framework, marking a significant shift away from self-regulation in social media.
