Thank you, Mr. Caulfield and Mr. Housefather.
We've had other witnesses here. We've been studying this for several meetings now. I've asked this question of the other witnesses, and I'm going to ask each of you to answer the question.
We've seen Facebook pull back on the application of links on their website. Oftentimes, people would rely on Facebook. It would be simply a copy and paste of a story, whether it was to The Globe and Mail, whether it was to BarrieToday, or other newspapers. That's been lost, so that source of credible information, fact-checked information, has also been lost.
In your opinion, given the fact that Facebook has taken this action as a result of a dispute with government, do you believe it fills in a vacuum of misinformation, or the potential of a vacuum of misinformation, that could be put online in absence of this fact-checked information from credible news organizations?
I'll start with you, Mr. Caulfield.
