Under the Digital Services Act, the European Commission is responsible for the oversight of very large online platforms with their requirements to assess and mitigate risks that their services may create in relation to the proliferation of illegal content online and the protection of fundamental rights, including protection for minors. Coimisiún na Meán is engaging with the European Commission in this context, in relation to Grok. We are also continuing to engage with An Garda Síochána on these matters.
The sharing of non-consensual intimate images is illegal, and the generation of child sexual abuse material is illegal. If a member of the public is concerned about images shared online, they should report it to An Garda Síochána. Reports can also be made to the Irish national reporting centre, Hotline.ie
We also encourage users to report illegal content to the online platform where they saw it. If users experience issues reporting illegal content, they can contact Coimisiún na Meán. Under our Online Safety Framework, there is an obligation on platforms to act on reports of illegal content.
