Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

For example, for children the recommender systems have addictive design features to keep people using them. Under the Digital Services Act, those have been identified and when platforms have children as their users, they are required not to have addictive design features and not to promote content that is unsuitable for children, such as pornography. I absolutely agree with the Deputy that we can look at recommender systems and see how can they be designed to make sure that when a feed contains material that is relevant to civic discourse, that material in the feed that gets recommended does not just put one point of view but puts a balanced point of view, that it contains trusted journalism and that the algorithm does not reflect the political preferences of the owners of the social media company, all of which would be analogous to the obligations we put on to broadcasters.
