Ms Jane McGarrigle:

I thank the Senator for that question. We spent a lot of time over the past couple of years talking to our youth panel about recommender systems and online algorithms. One of the things that struck me most about our conversations last year when I asked the young people what they do if they see something they do not want to see online or something that is harmful, was they had developed their own strategies on how to get by this. They know that if they spend too much time on that content, the algorithm will feed them more of that content and they do not want that. They do not have much trust in the reporting systems. They do not want to click or view on any more so it is kind of sad that they had to build their own strategies to be able to bypass these things. They do not have trust. They are aware of the systems and I suppose, within our own role, we have developed our own materials to support that and lessons around the power of the online algorithm.
