Coimisi\xfan na Me\xe1n has dropped two proposals aimed at protecting teenagers online after opposition from Google and a representative group for Big Tech. The proposals included a ban on under-18s live-streaming content or viewing live-streamed content without parental permission.

Ciara spoke with Philip Arneill, Head of Education with Cybersafe Kids, about the implications of this decision.
