Yes, and a public service broadcaster, with all the issues that exist at the minute, but we do need trusted sources of information. It is a question of how we tackle these companies and how we tackle this across the board. Even if we have all the infrastructure that is planned - and, as Deputy Howlin will deal with later, some of the leverage that should be available to the Electoral Commission is not actually in play yet - I am not entirely sure how we will deal with this. We all know what can be done in an election campaign. A last-minute message online is very hard to put back in the box afterwards. Obviously, those companies' algorithms work for them as regards making money. I am not saying they are going out of their way to facilitate this hate, but hate is facilitated, whether by organised or disorganised actors, which we have seen.

I apologise. I have to run. I will listen back to the debate.
