Ireland is publicly debating individuals’ right to privacy and regulating social media after Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar was “clandestinely recorded” in a Dublin nightclub, the Guardian reports. Taosiseach Micheál Martin said the video violated Varadkar's right to privacy after it was posted on TikTok. He added forthcoming legislation “would create Ireland’s first social media regulator.”
