I thank Mr. Joyce. I will turn to BeLonG To, who raised many of the same points about people being force-fed anti-LGBTQ, racist, far-right or pro-eating disorder content because it works for the tech giants. Then you have the added issue with AI and the algorithms effectively outing people without AI having the intent to do it in the sense that AI does not have intent. Similarly, is that something BeLonG To has considered? I think it raised the issue of people being able to opt out of recommender algorithms but should they not be off by default?
