Ms McDonald mentioned that funding for the trust, safety and integrity teams was the first to be cut and that there are now only 250 content moderators for the whole of the EU.

If she knows, could Ms McDonald tell me what the original number was? How many content moderators were in place for the whole of the EU beforehand?

Ms McDonald mentioned the recommender system. Is there a bias in that towards more hateful and divisive content or is it just a general type of system? A number of platforms were mentioned, including, for example, Telegram. What is its reach compared with some of the other social media sites? We all know about some of the activists who are online, but what about any sharing of videos or whatever by elected representatives? What is her view on those? Has there been as much of that? I apologise in advance in case I have to slip out.
