#Aras25 Is there any discussions starting now to launch a follow up email/socials campaign in a month or so to put pressure on the government to have a referendum on the nomination process based on invalid ballots results? @micheal-martin.bsky.social @simonharrisireland.bsky.social

I may share views on the same cause but an old adage from 'Xitter' applies here. "Retweets are not endorsement of the accounts!"

I don't endorse any of the leader people of the site!
old adage honesty is the best policy.

#Aras25 Spoil Your Vote! ~ Write 'I DO NOT CONSENT!' and 'NO' in each tick box!
Deliberate Spoil of your Vote is exercising your 'Right to Vote'!
Abstaining is your silent agreement of the process!

If your still active on 'X' could you do a cool gif to get the word out on this:-
‘X’ and EU Age Assurance (Age verification)! Due to the fact that ‘X’ and 8 other companies (Youtube, Meta, TikTok etc) have EU Headquarters in Ireland. DSA rules from Ireland’s regulator from 21st July means the companies have to apply these regulations EU wide, despite what local laws apply or not!

I am afraid google's ai would disagree with you!
The image contains an overview of Ireland's Online Safety Code, detailing its legally binding rules for video-sharing platforms, enforcement powers, content restrictions to protect users (especially children), EU compliance processes, and its role under the Digital Services Act. "Yes, the Online Safety Code developed by Ireland's media regulator, Coimisiún na Meán (the Media Commission), is legally binding for video-sharing platforms with EU headquarters in Ireland. These rules are part of Coimisiún na Meán's broader Online Safety Framework, which aims to make digital services accountable for protecting users, especially children, from harmful online content. "
