I appreciate your raising that point. I think that is a very fair consideration. Perhaps the focus should be exclusively on the content.
I'd like to turn my next question to the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism.
In your opening remarks, you were talking about the fact that we do have to take social media companies on “with teeth”. In previous testimony from other witnesses in front of this committee, we heard a little bit about how far right and extremist groups are using different avenues to monetize their hate. For example, they may be using platforms like Amazon and Etsy to sell paraphernalia and raise funds that way.
With the work that your organization does, is there anything on that particular subject you can inform our committee on that would help us produce some recommendations to the federal government?
