Dr. Jane Suiter:

They archive the political advertising. One can go into the Facebook ad library or the Twitter ad library and look to see what they have. There are issues. We completed a couple of reports for the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, BAI, which were then used by the European Regulators Group for Audiovisual Media Services, ERGA, on political advertising in the local and European elections here. There are still problems with that but it is something on which the Commission is working with the platforms. The ads are archived and it is possible to look at the material. It is the archive that this legislation seems to refer to. That is what would be made available whereas they are available in real time and so the technology to deal with that would be preferable.
