Google, Facebook, and Twitter reject suggestions they should be held to same standards as media publishers

Internet giants Google, Facebook, and Twitter have rejected suggestions they should be held to the same standards as media publishers and broadcasters, and denied profiting from graphic material such as the live-streamed shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The companies appeared before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice and Equality to discuss how to tackle online harassment and harmful communications.
