Mr. Ollie Irwin:

I will touch on some of the safeguards but I will be brief. For some topics, such as Covid, you will see high-quality information pinned at the top. We have worked with organisations like the WHO and local health bodies in order to ensure that when you are searching for information, this high-quality information is pinned at the top. It is the same for elections. You see high-quality authoritative information pinned at the top. The feed may be different but the high-quality information rises up.

The Senator mentioned prebunking. I would like to just touch on that. We launched the prebunking campaign across central and eastern Europe. It involved videos of counter-narratives to what research was seeing across platforms. For example, we were playing videos of counter-narratives on anti-immigration to try to prebunk or debunk some of the myths that were going around and people would see that pre-roll before seeing videos. That is an experiment to try to counter bad information with good information.
