Thank you, Chair.
I just have one last question going to the point of Facebook's acknowledgement of having allowed serious privacy breaches. Here I'm referring to Mr. Zuckerberg's apology before congressional committees. When Facebook executives appeared before our committee, they assured us that thousands of employees monitored Facebook looking for disinformation and fake news, and that many thousands more would be hired to address the realities that have been discovered through the Cambridge Analytica scandal, AIQ, and so forth.
However, we reminded Facebook that some Russian disinformation posted a year ago, regarding Canadian troops participating in NATO Operation Reassurance in the Baltic countries was ridiculous. One of the postings suggested to Latvians that Canadian troops would be encouraging homosexuality in the Latvian population. Another said that our Muslim defence minister would be leading a Muslim takeover of Latvia. When I offered to the Canadian CEO of Facebook that those postings were still up and very open and known to folks in Latvia as well to Canadians who might be following Latvian affairs, he expressed surprise and asked for the link to assist Facebook in taking it down.
Have any similar occasions of glaring disinformation come before your committee during your inquiry?
