The Taoiseach has vowed to hit social media companies “where it hurts” if they do not comply with Ireland’s online safety regulations.

Simon Harris promised that the ability to impose substantial fines, running into tens of millions of euros, will be in place by the end of the year.“There can be no hiding place for anyone seeking to threaten, attack, or harm people, or to incite others to do so,” he warned.“If you don't comply with that, we're going to hit you where it hurts with very, very, very significant fines that can run to tens of millions of euros,” he said.

“It’s utterly unacceptable that any platform, whether digital, online, or print, would allow a threat towards anybody or let it remain for a significant period of time.
