Minister, in your opening remarks and in other places too, you've claimed that your government cares about the spread of misinformation and disinformation. Clause 51 of this bill would prevent social media platforms like Google from ranking high-quality news sources above those of a lesser quality. It would also prevent them from being able to take down fake news or even give alerts as to news that might be incorrect or false altogether.
We've heard from experts who have said that this bill would actually then deteriorate journalism and the integrity in this industry. It could actually proliferate garbage news, as well as clickbait and misinformation.
I'm wondering if you've been made aware of these serious concerns and if you're willing to make amendments to ensure that this is not the case.
