I know that but, as the Minister said, self-regulation is no regulation. We are expecting the platforms to have some moral compass around stuff like this. This was a very isolated incident and everybody could see on social media that it was done very quickly. At the same time, there was a four-hour lead-in, with the first post proposing to meet at the Spire at 6 p.m. We could all see that hours ahead of time, which gave people an opportunity to travel. What was the Minister's reaction to the platforms' inaction or action?
