Varadkar told reporters this week he did not wish to comment on a personal matter but hinted at regret. “Everyone makes errors in judgment. You wouldn’t be a human being if you didn’t.” He defended his record in office, saying he got the big calls – the Covid pandemic, Brexit, the economy – right. Martin said pending legislation would create Ireland’s first social media regulator and that new EU directives would tighten the rules for tech firms that operated such platforms. Individual users also needed to be held accountable, he told the Irish Independent. “We are now entering into a new era where there’ll be far more regulation of social media platforms.”
