Ireland’s media watchdog has initiated a formal investigation into X, formerly known as Twitter, due to concerns regarding the potential accessibility of pornographic content to children on the platform. This marks the first formal investigation undertaken under Ireland’s Online Safety Code, established to regulate online content. The investigation will focus on X’s compliance with the code, particularly regarding measures to protect younger users from harmful material. Details of the investigation’s scope and timeline have not yet been released, but officials have indicated a thorough review of X’s safety protocols is expected. The regulator cited increasing concerns about the ease with which explicit content could be viewed by children as the primary catalyst for the inquiry. This action underscores Ireland’s commitment to enforcing online safety regulations and holding platforms accountable for protecting vulnerable users. Failure to comply with the Online Safety Code could result in significant penalties for X.
