Thank you very much.

Thank you very much to the witnesses for being here.

Professor Bradshaw, I read the paper that you co-wrote with some others about the 2020 election. One thing that struck me was the way that different platforms, and you looked in particular at X and Facebook, dealt with disinformation related to the election. Could you just walk us through the issue where 30% of the posts were not treated consistently by the platforms and why that was?
