The industry submission claimed that recommender systems play an important role in ensuring a safe, predictable and trusted online environment by making sure that users are connected to relevant and high-quality information. That goes strongly against the evidence the committee has heard so far in terms of people being pushed down far-right pipelines, anti-immigrant pipelines and eating disorder pipelines incredibly quickly after setting up blank social media accounts. Would Mr. Godfrey agree with that claim from the industry?
