Thank you so much, MP O'Rourke.
Thank you so much, Ms. Patell, for being here.
It is impressive that Google can remove and block billions of ads before they reach us. You've just mentioned the millions of accounts that were suspended. I'm quite impressed, actually, by the number that you have, in terms of the success rate. I know a lot of them are repeat offenders as well, in terms of those who try to manoeuvre...the ways they come back to the platform.
One thing I am wondering is this: Are there ways you can protect users from getting targeted by the same suspects who keep coming back? That seems to not be part of the way that you have calculated that success rate yet, eliminating or preventing bad actors from even re-entering. That would be my first question.
Secondly, as we're limited in time, I want to ask this: What is the most useful step that our government can take to help platforms like yours help people avoid fraud and scams, given what's going on right now and how perverse it has been?
