SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES are not doing enough to remove misinformation about migrants from their platforms, Justice Minister Simon Harris has said.
“That is a world away, though, from the activities of a small number of sinister actors who are operating within our country, who are travelling from pillar to post spreading misinformation, sowing division,” the Minister said. Harris commended An Garda Síochána for their policing response to “what’s a really tricky situation”.
It comes in the wake of erroneous claims made by right-wing groups that a migrant was involved in carrying out the assault.
Hmm maybe if Government were not so secretive on the Question many people are asking , about why there is an alarming amount of military aged migrants ,the majority of whom are males , are being secretively planted in small villages & Towns ? In early hours while people sleep?
Trying to justify their tyranny with propaganda and sensorship
And social media not doing enough either to investigate and make public mis information and government failures. Just to balance thing up a little for fairness
The Journal does it for them. Any deviation from happy clappy diversity mantra is banned.
SimonHarrisTD
And regular media are constantly giving a platform to thinly veiled racists in a desperate bid to get clicks
Go back to Frances for some mothering Simon,breast feeding is therapeutic
I was expecting to read that article and be presented with a myriad of examples....
Government should be highlighting the lies from the main stream media
How do you know its its not right Simon, Prove some of it so it your that sure. One lad travelled to the UK and worked there before going to Scotland and crossing on a ferry to North Ireland and getting a train to Dublin where he is been looked after
SimonHarrisTD you were minister for health misinformation you are responsible for children with out mother today fathers who have no wives mothers & fathers without daughters Brothers sisters without sisters cervical cancer twip rtenews rtept cblive TonightVMTV Upfront
Not doing enough to expose bribe taking politicians like him more like.
What's bad for society SimonHarrisTD is holding an Algerian passport in one hand and a department of justice letter for international protection in the other, refusing work after a week, returning with social welfare forms to be signed, 💯 no misinformation from me Minister!!
Smacks of Cencership.
Simple Simon needs to pee off
The misinformation is coming from govt
Comments in section need to be sorted first. . full of the scum of the country .. jobless, toothless scum ...
FF Fg is spewing so much misinformation it's hard for them to keep up
What is it with all the media frenzy around the interim minister for justice ?
They can remove whatever they like. People can see this farce unfolding with their own eyes
Horrible little prick
The new Ministry of Truth under Catherine Martin will sort that out. All hail The Party.
Outright lies should be removed, no question. Disinformation is a different kettle of fish, it’s harder to pin down, and is rampantly used by BOTH sides of this debate, not least from state representatives.
Give examples of the misinformation or it’s just a ploy to shut down debate!!
Did the Gardai tell that family in Dungarvan to take down the post about the foreign nationals attacking a girl?
Are there any updates on civil registration Bill 2014 signed in to law 3005 days ago still waiting for commencement date? This bill places a duty on unmarried parents to register the Father's name on the birth cert. DeptJusticeIRL IrishTimes TREOIR
That’s a bit rich coming from the Journal you can’t say one negative thing about the ill effects of mass immigration or you’d be barred.
Misinformation like, I dunno: 'The banks were NOT bailed out' (M Martin) 'Maurice McCabe is a child abuser' (Tusla) 'People did worse than Bertie' (M Martin again) 'Zappone is a practising lawyer' (S Coveney) 'The M&BH emergency legislation is essential' (The AG) Jail them.
Removing Information
Misinformation =ugly truth the government want silenced
They need to remove this clown
Remember when the Mainstream Media repeated over and over that the Covid Vaccines would stop Transmission and Demonised the Unvaccinated.....now that's what you call MISINFORMATION!!!
Not enough censorship for your liking SimonHarrisTD ?
730k followers, and 5 hours later. I still can't believe that 18 people liked this tweet.
Where is the mis information here. It’s a known fact Ireland is a soft touch.
Misinformation like the eighteen other versions of Covid 19.
We have asked them to remove the spew ffg tweet....
Is using the case of poor Ashling Murphy, Michael and Aidan as an example of the potential dangers we may face, misinformation? Like that actually happened. These are not lies. How do they think they can hide this truth? People aren't stupid. This won't end well for them.
I'm getting far more truthful information and a lot more of it from social media than I'm getting from the gov and the msm.
What he’s really saying is we’ve been caught out and we don’t want to admit we’re wrong.
SimonHarrisTD wants censorship. Not going to happen
Is part of the misinformation the rise of the far right? as stated by the government? SimonHarrisTD Is stating all the undocumented and economic migrants are safe more misinformation? OR indeed that FineGael fiannafailparty care a little about the Irish poor misinformation?
and the people are not doing enough to remove politicians who seek to colocate them with masses of destitute, outcultural economic 'migrants'. We are aware of the demographic situations. Stop importing foreigners, and design policy that helps Europeans have more kids. not hard
What information exactly is not correct when it comes to post on social media. The ones I read are people destroying passports which is fact , nearly all male ( fact), most of them from safe countries ( fact ) using fake ID ( fact). Putting extra strain on our resources ( fact).
Why won't the government enforce Irish Immigration policy? Why do NGOs have so much control over Irish Immigration policy? Why are NGOs allowed unlimited access to Irish media & politicians? Why are 10s of 1000s of undocumented migrants dumped into working class communities?
We all know very well that the majority of misinformation is coming from Irish corporate media,NGOs and politicians. They are getting called out on their incompetence & lies by Irish people on social media and are now doing their best to censor the truth. HowIrelandWorks
They shouldn't remove anything, free speech isn't 'stuff you like' it's anything and everything
No criticism allowed...very 1984.
Has this fellow ever done any thing right
Simon needs to look at his own governments policies. It’s not misinformation that has people angry. Its what we see in our daily lives and how we see our country slipping away.
Ministry of truth in plain sight
Sounding more like Russia everyday isn’t it.
Neither is his government.
Yes, RTE & Irish Times should be banned from social media for lies.👏👏👏👏
The progressive establishment apparently thinks theirs is the view from nowhere.
This needs to be challenged at the highest level. Who decides what 'misinformation' is? The real reasoning behind this push is to label any opposing view of government policy as 'misinformation'. This will lead to blanket censorship on anything the government decides to oppose.
Freedom of Expression (ie. Free Speech) is covered under article 40 of the Irish Constitution they don’t get to decide what people think and say. This is not North Korea!! They are opening themselves up for challenge with these proposed laws they are trying to steamroll in.
If minister Harris wants to enshrine Newspeak in law, the least he can do is be upfront about it. Regardless of whether I agree/believe in something, censorship is never the answer. One would think after the decades of Church coverups we Irish of all people would understand this
Define 'misinformation' wee man SimonHarrisTD Secondly, You don't decide who gets to read what. People are big enough to make up their own minds. Seriously. Get over yourself, you little tiny thing with your notions. Go back to managing the photocopier in HQ.
He, leo and MM are on there enough, they’re pros at this point.
Simple Simon says
Can’t abide the man but he’s spot on with this.
and you're not doing enough to remove migrants from these shores. start with the illegals then move on the parents performing FGM then the criminals and then the long term unemployed migrants. Some groups are majority unemployed and should be sent away.
Oh wow if a justice minister propagates censorship, then we are in trouble.
Govt not doing enough to enforce their own policies
Social Media companies are not doing enough, and yet Simon Harris never does anything at all. LOL
He's a wannabe dictator.
What's not to say that there's not misinformation from either side or who defines what misinformation is?
So basically 'OH SHITE they can see what we are doing against their will'
Lies are an Irish politicians stock in trade. I wouldn't believe the Lords Prayer out of his mouth.
that man is a cabbage
If i was involved in the Democide and Mass Poisioning by injection of the Irish People i would be calling TRUTH Disinformation aswell
Justice minister not doing enough to remove bogus asylum claimants from Ireland, everyone else has said
Who decides what disinformation is. Who appointed them who pays them and what are their names 🤔 if they are payed from public purse the people should know who is taking away their right to free speech.
Can they give 1 single example of this magical 'Misinformation' they are referring to? I also recall posts stating that the Covid Vaccines, Masks & Lockdowns were useless and harmful were also labelled 'Misinformation' by the corrupt Government & Media 🤔🤔
😂😂😂😂😂😂
We need to know more , not less. I have an idea- how about we dna and fingerprint all of us on Eire? I’m happy , nothing to see here .
Utter clown , what he really means is. Social media firms should remove any criticism of fiannafailparty FineGael & greenparty_ie policies, especially their mass migration policy which is dangerously out of control. He's a condescending little prick 😡
'misinformation' from the regime that has objectively mislead the people time and time again. This is an attempt to stifle opposition to the regime because they have no argument they are trying to stifle free speech. They're a criminal cartel and nothing more.
'sowing division' - nice try, rat's face. That's the job of the Government, who continually sow these seeds. Hold your mirror up high SimonHarrisTD 🪞. You can only accuse others of that which you and your crowd are directly responsible for. Get ready to run Simon!
You could report bullying video on instagram and like button there to report just for show. I do not know do they even look at reports
Misinformation ? Ah come on now. If it wasn’t so hypocritical it’d be humorous. Anything to get the media attention. Perhaps he’d get it if he attempted to do what he signed up for.
The misinformation is from the government, I think they need removed!! Open your 👀!
Misinformation = stuff the government would rather we not know
The only misinformation is coming out of our government. You lied about the vaccine being safe and effective. Your lying about the excess deaths. Your lying about Russia, Your lying about human trafficking. Your lying about immigrants. its the government that should be censored.
What misinformation?
Government also aren't doing enough
