Last year, An Coimisiún na Meán opened a review into a number of websites, requesting information from several of those based here, to ensure people have a right to report content they suspect to be illegal, in an accessible and user-friendly way.
The media regulator has launched an investigation into TikTok and LinkedIn.
It's looking into the social media companies' illegal content reporting mechanisms.
Last year, An Coimisiún na Meán opened a review into a number of websites, requesting information from several of those based here, to ensure people have a right to report content they suspect to be illegal, in an accessible and user-friendly way.
Following this, the regulator has today announced formal investigations into TikTok and LinkedIn.
It suspects the sites' reporting systems aren't easy to access or user-friendly, don't allow people to report child sexual abuse material anonymously, and the design of their interfaces may deter people from reporting content as illegal.
If either site is found to break the rules, it could result in a fine of up to 6 per cent of turnover.
An Coimisiún na Meán has requested further information from several other providers and says it's not ruling out further regulatory action.
