Mr. Ryan Meade:

With regard to the point on editorial control, it is important to point out that, as Ms White said, platforms have the ability to enforce their terms of service and to create content policies. In our case, these policies are our community guidelines for YouTube, our advertising policies and so on. That is provided for under the existing legal framework. It allows the companies to exercise a degree of moderation and to impose their own standards with regard to what they will or will not allow on their platforms. From our point of view, that has served the purpose of allowing us to keep our users safe on our platforms and to provide them with a more positive experience. The Deputy's point is that is a form of editorial control which would lead to us being defined as publishers. What we do, and I believe all the platforms have similar systems of enforcing guidelines, is allowed for under the existing legal framework. If it was not allowed for, we would be in a much worse situation in respect of platforms' ability to take proactive measures to keep users safe.
