The following question is for all the witnesses. Have they identified any patterns around the sources of misinformation? Are there patterns of misinformation coming through? Have our guests recognised any particular sources? They may not be able to name those sources but I am asking the question broadly if the witnesses could speak to it. If they see a pattern, can they identify it and remove it quicker so that the algorithms do not get the chance to have the spread they currently have? I might start with one of the TikTok representatives.
