Information & Ethics committee  It's an honour to be here. Thank you.

Information & Ethics committee  Absolutely.

Information & Ethics committee  I do. I think that's an interesting point in the recommendations. I think it was in the evidence from Tristan Harris. The safe harbour has been used widely, including in our safe harbour in the U.S. There has been a lot of press recently around the harms that are happening withi

Information & Ethics committee  The auditing of algorithms is the concept you have in there, too, which I think is very wise to look at.

Information & Ethics committee  I absolutely agree that the model of the GDPR is important. However, to add to that, I would really amplify what's in recommendations 12 and 13 regarding the Competition Act and the intersection with data and the value of data. That solves a lot of issues. It solves liability iss

Information & Ethics committee  I knew that would happen. It was around content moderation. It was this idea that within a certain set period—I think you suggested 24 hours, maybe—it should be possible to eliminate content. I know that's being rolled out in a couple of different counties in Europe. I think it's

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  That has always been a concern, particularly for our news members. At least in the United States, it's been an important initiative. Competition is hugely important in what we call MVPD, the telecom space, with protection of the open Internet in particular to make sure that acces

Information & Ethics committee  I referred to putting a lot of check marks next to your recommendations, and around two I have question marks. Frankly, that was one of them. The argument of being able to also reach certain users is also a good one. The limitations, based on your current privacy law, on how it c

Information & Ethics committee  No changes. Those publishers you referenced who had backed out have not gone back into the market, but I think they likely will. That's a bad outcome, obviously, when the free press isn't available because of regulation.

Information & Ethics committee  I heard a couple of themes in the question that I think are important observations. One is that the rules of offline content, whether they be what is appropriate or the actual law, haven't properly translated to online content. The same expectations that you would have in a store

Information & Ethics committee  Not as many sites backed out as you would think based on the press. I think that's very much a talking point that those who don't like GDPR like to use, in particular Google. Tribune Publishing—it was called Tronc at the time—which has a lot of properties underneath it, decided t

Information & Ethics committee  I'm not a security expert, so I'll turn most of my time over to Chris. I have heard positive reflections on the Estonian model and I have not heard the security concerns. The way it's described, it makes sense, but I haven't heard of any issues. It's most often the example that c

Information & Ethics committee  That's within the device. We can get deep into the weeds but it's—

Information & Ethics committee  Either way, without going into the weeds on who's doing what, I think a higher bar is definitely in order and should be discussed for the companies that see a substantial amount of your activity; I call them service providers. That may mean that they can't use the data for that p
