Thank you, Madam Chair.

My questions are for Mr. McKay.

I'm looking at YouTube's community guidelines related to the COVID-19 medical misinformation policy. It says that YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation or contradicts the advice of the World Health Organization or local health authorities. Does this mean that Google and YouTube are now taking responsibility as a platform for determining truth about public health information during a pandemic?
