Should catfishing be illegal?

2 April - 18 mins
Podcast Series Lunchtime Live Highlights

Today, a bill is being introduced in an attempt to make catfishing illegal.

Catfishing, at its core, is the act of using fake photos and information, often stolen from real people, to create a false identity online.

But despite the damage it can cause, it’s not a crime.

Joining Andrea to discuss is Senator Fiona O’Loughlin, CEO of Turn2Me, Fiona O'Malley and Stephanie Regan, Clinical Psychotherapist.

If you have been affected by anything discussed please call Childline on Freephone 1800 66 66 66 or choose the live chat button at childline.ie, or The Samaritans on 116 123.
