Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
If I may, I want to preface my question.
In November, Charles Burton appeared before the committee. He told us about the work he'd done, particularly on the Kenny Chiu case. He told us about WeChat and the very sophisticated aspect of that platform, particularly with respect to not only information manipulation, but also mass manipulation. We know that countries that engage in foreign interference, such as India, have banned this platform.
People have discussed banning TikTok. I know you're going to tell me that it's not your role to decide whether or not these instruments should be banned. That's up to the lawmakers. However, to make an informed decision, we need to know what's happening on the ground. You are our eyes on this.
Based on your experience in the field, to what extent is WeChat, for example, a major vector for disinformation?
