Dr. John Evans:

This is a priority for us. We have not yet had any indication that any of the platforms are not co-operating with us. To note there are shared competencies, as I am sure the Senator is aware, between the European Commission and ourselves and other digital services co-ordinators across the EU. The Digital Services Act is a network of enforcers. As I said, some sole competencies are for the European Commission, including in the area of systemic risks to society which could bring in issues around misinformation, disinformaiton and so on. The platforms will have to decide individually what their approach to that will be but if it turns out that, following supervision by the European Commission, that their approaches to those issues are not preventing the harms we need to be prevented, the Commission can then step in and require the platforms to change their internal practices.
