It is very interesting. The witnesses are giving us all the feedback we need. The most important issue is legislation. Another thing I am hearing is that children's rights have to be put to the forefront in every policy. A lot of these platforms are owned by individuals, which is another issue because often those individuals put their perspective on what is needed or not needed. We spoke about AI-powered recommender systems and AI-generated deepfakes. As young people, how do you cope with that? Can you decipher what is in front of you? Do you see loopholes in legislation we can control or change? What actions can we take to protect you? Any of the witnesses may answer that.
