We had some good discussions at the recent international grand committee and at the think tank we had in the Westin Hotel. I recall at that event that experts from the Carnegie UK Trust explained the duty of care process, which was all about process design and the ability of states or regulators to set out in clear terms the design processes. It was not the case that we would just rely on Article 25 but that we would be specific. I do not mean down to the individual content moderation but in the design process. My understanding is that informed its paper on harmful content but it could inform this area here as well. Is the European system looking at that duty of care process as a European-wide standard rather than just relying on the broad articles of the GDPR to protect us? Would that be a good idea?
