An Irish watchdog has devised and published an Online Safety Code for video-sharing platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram and Facebook’s Reels. The code, published by media and internet watchdog Coimisiún na Meán, will apply to any video-sharing platforms headquartered in the country from next month, which includes ByteDance’s TikTok, Google’s YouTube, and Meta’s Instagram and Facebook Reels. The Code states that platforms will need to have terms and conditions that ban uploads or sharing of a harmful content, including cyberbullying, promoting self-harm or suicide, and promoting eating or feeding disorders,as well as banning content that incites hatred or violence, terrorism, child sex abuse material (CSAM), and racism or xenophobia. It’s intended as a stopgap to address content that might slip through the gaps left by the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA), according to Coimisiún na Meán spokesman Adam Hurley.
