I thank Mr. Moore and Ms Hamra for joining us. I would like to pick up the conversation about ethical algorithms. There is a quote from "The Social Dilemma" to the effect that the algorithm is convincing someone somewhere that the earth is flat. I am guessing the witnesses agree that we need more transparency around the algorithms. Can they talk about why the algorithms concern them in terms of suicide and suicide prevention?

Mr. Moore made a brief reference to the well-being of staff who moderate platforms and whether platforms should be accountable for the well-being of their staff and the supports they get. Could the witnesses expand on that?
