Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question will focus on a word that seemed to me to be important just now, the word “responsibility”.
This morning, we heard from representatives from digital platforms. They seemed to brush away a major part of their responsibility.
That shocked me. I feel they have a responsibility for their platforms and for the services they provide. Despite very specific questions, they were not able to prove that they are in control of their platforms in terms of broadcasting fake news or hate propaganda that can really change the course of things and influence a huge number of people.
The users, those that buy advertising, also have a responsibility. When you buy advertising, it must be fair and accurate, in election campaigns especially, but also all the time.
If there was international regulation one day, how should we determine the responsibility of both parties, the digital platforms and the users, so they can be properly identified?
That question goes to anyone who wants to answer.
