Ireland’s online safety regulator initiates its first formal investigation under the country’s Online Safety Code into the social media platform X, following concerns about online risks to children.
Both outlets report that the probe is tied to the regulator’s assessment of how X handles child safety and related obligations under Ireland’s regulatory framework. The Irish Mirror frames the development as an investigation driven by fears for children, while IrishExaminer.com emphasizes the role of the media regulator and links the move to concerns under the Online Safety Code.
While the articles agree on the core fact that this is the first formal Online Safety Code investigation into X, they differ mainly in emphasis—one highlighting child-safety worries and the other focusing on the regulator’s broader online-safety concerns. The coverage does not indicate, in the provided excerpts, the specific issues to be examined, the timeline, or any potential outcomes of the investigation.
