Ms Susan Moss:

There is room for improvement and we recognise that. We do not create a permissive environment on TikTok for this type of behaviour to find a way to grow. To refer back to some of the numbers, we proactively remove 96% of harmful misinformation. More than 80% of that is removed before it gets a single view and more than 61% is removed within 24 hours. We will not catch every single incident of it. If people watching see a post they believe is harmful and that creates misinformation, we would urge them to report that through the TikTok channels.

We might look at some of the reporting from, for example, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. The Uisce Faoi Thalamh report,which Mr. Meade referred to, looked at the misinformation and disinformation ecosystem in Ireland. It stated categorically that misinformation and disinformation bad actors are struggling to get through on TikTok. I absolutely appreciate that we will not always get it right-----
