Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you so much, Madam Motherwell.
Thank you very much, Commissioner Mignolet. I'll start with you.
I'm going to begin with an introduction. Two things are of great concern to me: the issue of social networks, and the issue of digital media in general or digital communications. They come up very often in your research and comments, which I find really fascinating. In that sense, I'm talking about one of the most important objectives, in my opinion: preserving, and sometimes even strengthening public trust in institutions in general, and much more specifically in governments and the House of Commons.
You're well aware that digital media and social networks rely heavily on algorithms that, to a large extent, fuel polarization, unfortunately. We see comments on social media from a few public figures, particularly elected officials. What they say can undermine public trust and, unfortunately, fuel that polarization. To that end, your work makes the case for a better set of rules. Could you quickly explain what those rules would consist of and what meaningful action we should take? What exactly could we do to better regulate comments like that?
