Dr. John Evans:

Mr. Kenny might want to come in, but everybody working in this space is aware of the potential negative impact that an unregulated negative space presents for elections in particular. That is why there was a certain amount of haste in Europe to get the Digital Services Act in place as quickly as possible for this year. I mentioned earlier that we had the first meeting of the European digital services board last week. At that meeting we discussed a draft set of guidelines that the European Commission has produced. They are guidelines directed at the platforms about how they should prepare themselves for the elections this year. That guidance includes a role for Digital Services Coordinators because a lot of the effects across the Union will be language or culture specific. You need to have the various locally active agents contributing. In Ireland that would be the Electoral Commission. It would be fact checking organisations and organisations like ours, which do work on media literacy. We have a role in co-ordinating that.
