Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing today.
First and foremost, Mr. de Eyre, in your opening remarks you talked about access to TikTok. I will say for the record that TikTok allowed 1.4 million children under the age of 13 to use the app in 2020, despite your own rules that you identified.
I want to talk about a specific thing that you mentioned in your statement. You talked about providing “an age-appropriate experience” to people. What does that mean? How do you identify what an age-appropriate experience is if you're not collecting data on people and what their interests are?
As you're going through that, I'd love to know more about your algorithms and how the content you're displaying to people is for each individual to have an age-appropriate experience or to have an entertainment experience, as you identified in your opening remarks.
