Social media companies should ‘most definitely’ be brought before the Oireachtas Media Committee to discuss how they deal with disinformation on foot of claims made online in the wake of the shooting in Carlow over the weekend, a TD has said.
When the incident became public, some far-right actors pushed false information that the incident was carried out by a foreign national. Some social media users described the incident as a mass shooting with multiple victims wounded.
Micheál Carrigy, a Fine Gael TD who sits on the Oireachtas Media Committee, spoke to us on The Agenda this morning about this.
