Mr. Wayne Moroney:

I thank Dr. Evans. The DSA election round table is a key feature of engagement between digital service co-ordinators, platforms, local authorities and experts prior to any election. That is going on for many countries now. Next week, we will have our round table. We will use one half of it to present information and concerns to the platforms. We will do that, but the European Commission will be in attendance. Experts from other bodies, including the electoral commission and safe participation in public life, will also be there. In the second half, we will have a question-and-answer session in which we will explore the concerns we have around general safety, the platforms' readiness for the election and their adherence to the guidelines, as well as other concerns, such as, for example, candidate safety and advertising. On top of that, we will consider the benefits of media literacy and broader information, and users having that power. It goes back to users having that power in their hands and being able to engage with content and believe it or report the content if they believe they need to.

I should have mentioned earlier the upcoming transparency and targeting of political advertising, TTPA, regulation, which has had an interesting effect in that many platforms are now moving to prohibit political advertising in the face of the difficulty with complying with that particular legislation. That is an interesting effect for us.
