Conor McGregor Under Investigation for Tweets on Dublin Riots
Irish police are investigating MMA fighter Conor McGregor over tweets he posted in relation to the Dublin riots that occurred after a stabbing incident involving a man of Algerian descent. McGregor's tweets are being probed as part of an investigation into online hate speech. The investigation follows a post by far-right group Britain First's leader, Paul Golding, calling for McGregor to lead a "freedom march." McGregor distanced himself from the riots, condemning the violence and looting while expressing his commitment to efforts for change in Ireland. The Irish government is introducing legislative measures to enhance law enforcement capabilities, including the use of facial recognition technology and combating online hate speech, which has faced criticism for potential infringement on civil liberties.
