Publish and be damned: Online media platforms must be regulated

DOES Facebook put strong, educated, liberal women out front to hide its real intent behind them? asks Victoria White. 

I couldn’t help thinking that, as I watched head of content policy for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, Siobhan Cummiskey, and head of public policy, Niamh Sweeney, yesterday, addressing the Oireachtas Committee on Communications.

These women have the best and the highest qualifications, like Facebook’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, the woman who “leant in” and told us all to do the same.
