Thank you.
I'm a music buff. Every morning I wake up, and YouTube has selected music for me. Their algorithms are pretty good, and I watch them. I'm also a World War II buff, and YouTube offers me all kinds of documentaries. I see some of these documentaries on the great historian David Irving, who is a notorious Holocaust denier, and they come up in my feed.
Now, I have white hair; I know what David Irving is, but if I'm a high school student, I don't. It has a lot of likes because a lot of extremists are promoting it. The algorithm is pushing us towards seeing content that would otherwise be illegal.
In terms of self-regulation, I look at what we have in Canada. In Canada, we have broadcast standards for media. That doesn't mean we don't have all manner of debate and crazy commentary, and people are free to do it, but if someone was on radio or television promoting a Holocaust denier, there would be consequences. When it's YouTube, we don't even have a proper vehicle to hold them to account.
Again, in terms of the algorithms pushing us towards extremist content, do you believe that we should have some of the same kinds of legal obligations that are for regular broadcast media? You're broadcasting this. You have an obligation. You have to deal with this.
