Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Ms Frances Haugen
Ms Frances Haugen:
Excuse me, Senator. It is slightly worse than that. When those same researchers asked local parties how they felt about it, the political parties said repeatedly, across Europe, they were not happy about it because they are running positions now that they know their own constituents do not like, but those are the ones that get distribution on social media. Therefore, it is influencing the ballot box even before we get to vote.
