Ireland's newly created Media Commission will enforce the EU's new social media regulator: the Digital Services Act.
Presumably, the purpose of the act is to regulate information available to the Irish public and control international news about what’s happening in Ireland (think: North Korea)
Jeremy Godfrey has been made Chairman of Ireland’s Media Commission, Godfrey has spent the last 30 years in government roles and nobody lasting that long in western governments of today is a friend to the Irish people in any capacity.
Godfrey will be given extended powers through the Commission, which will include policing social media and all domestic online activity, as well as working with the EU to establish what kind of content should be illegal.
