Mr. Ciarán O'Connor:

I would. The question of evidencing this comes back to transparency and data access and for us, that is one of the major challenges. I know other organisations here today echo that also. It is like trying to solve a jigsaw with only a handful of pieces. The research that we are conducting is based on limited data to which we have access. Platforms are opaque in their transparency. I think of a tool called CrowdTangle, which Facebook offered for a number of years that allowed researchers to view content that was being shared by public groups and pages to track the spread of content across platforms. This was an enormously valuable tool for researchers conducting analysis but that tool was shuttered during the summer. We have backward slides by platforms in allowing tools for accountability and transparency. That is one of the key challenges in holding platforms to account to force some change on their part.
