What makes you think Meta will do a better job of policing this than the actual police?
Granted, they might be able to crack down harder in some respects since unlike the police they don't have to worry about due process, but is that really "doing a better job" on balance?

Oh they won't. Vance will say a few mean words and threaten to bomb Dublin if anyone lifts a finger against Meta.

The Dáil record can be found here, but there's nothing of interest in it:
