He’s had some sense at last.
Though I wonder if he means anything by saying ‚deactivated‘ rather than ‚deleted‘.

Good to know that in some areas people can indeed be shamed and harangued into doing the absolute bare minimum.

I’ve absolutely no idea why politicians get involved with Twitter. It’s a hate filled place full of bots, lunatics and extremists. It has minimal reach to normal people.

Belated sense is sense at least, but it’s gonna take some heavy shaming to get politicians to wake up to the severity of just how polutted social media is becoming.

The WWN take on protecting women and children. It’s probably on Twitter but I’ve deleted it.

Following the same logic of – it is not Twitter, it is user fault – all website should stop policing.
Guns, drugs, illegal service on donedeal, adverts.ie – why not? It is user who posted it!
None of the torrent site should ever get blocked or restricted – they don’t host pirated contented and everything is added by users!

That didn’t take long. All officials need to follow suit, don’t use that platform.

It’s genuinely impressive how you think FG has put the most useless person ever into a position of power, only to later prove us all wrong by unveiling someone even more incompetent.
I genuinely fear for the next ministerial appointment.
