I hope so.

On social media, one of the issues arising in the Bill going through the Houses, to which Professor Galligan referred, is the capacity to require social media to have take-down orders, essentially, within a short period. CyberSafeKids argues that if a parent sees something about their child or a video that is being used to bully their child, they should be able to contact the social media company in question and it should be required to take the material down within 24 or 48 hours or they can make an emergency complaint to the Information Commissioner. The effect of that would be, we hope, that the social media companies would take responsibility for either taking it down or dealing with the consequences later. This is obviously especially important with respect to minors. In Australia a model was introduced where minors were looked after first and the measure was then extended to the broader population. However, we can see how misinformation and problem information about politicians are impacting on democracy and what people know and believe. Is there anything we can do to try to protect democracy through social media through a measure like that or something else? Do our guests see what I am trying to say? It is about trying to get rid of genuinely wrong information.
