It is not straightforward. On social media monitoring, does Coimisiún na Meán have any input into the management of algorithms and how they are arrived at? I refer in particular to those that are negatively biased, which it seems they all are, farming out negative bias on social media posts. Is there any way to get at that? The witnesses are trying to point out that Coimisiún na Meán wants to support free speech but there is a point at which it becomes sedition, for instance.
