All of the witnesses are extremely passionate about this, and it is wonderful to see. This Government has proposed hate speech legislation. There was push-back on that from certain quarters. My view was that this was one area where it would have been hugely helpful. However, the witnesses are the experts. I ask each of them if they feel that could have had a positive impact, or any impact at all, on the disinformation and hate speech online. Have they any thoughts or views on it?
