I will go straight to the business model and looking at some of the key intersecting issues. Are there issues about data points and special categories of personal data being allowed to be used in micro targeting or algorithmic construction? To what extent do we economically and algorithmically reward the giving of misinformation? What is the intersection between Google Ads rewarding misinformation sites and advertisements appearing on trusted sites? Is there space to be exploited by publishers in trusted national spaces like national newspapers?
