No, I don't think self-regulation is the right approach. As someone who has worked in government for a lot of years, I'm a fan of smart regulation. The issue is what kind of regulation is applied and how those issues are debated. The government has indicated that it's in the process of preparing an online harms bill, and we think that's the context in which to debate where that line should be drawn.
We have always said to governments, “You tell us what you define as disinformation or misinformation, and we'll make sure we enforce against those rules.” That would be a lot easier for us than engaging in an internal debate—which we do daily—around where the line should be drawn and what content we should allow on our platforms.
We are very happy to engage in those discussions, and we would love policy-makers and decision-makers to set those rules for us, but there needs to be an open and robust public debate around where the line should be drawn. In this case—and I think another member referenced this—it looks like content regulation through the back door, and it doesn't really allow for an open, informed and public debate around where to draw the line for what's acceptable content online.
