Show Notes
Fine Gael Councillor Mark Fitzgerald from Cloneen, Tipperary, plans to reduce social media posts due to online abuse. He advocates for Ireland to follow Australias lead in banning under-sixteens from major platforms, citing mental health concerns linked to heavy social media use. Fitzgerald aims to focus on sharing positive community events and local updates, while calling for ID checks to verify users and end anonymity to curb threats and fake news. He acknowledges social medias benefits, such as promoting local spots and boosting connections, and sees age limits and verification as practical steps forward.
