I turn to a slightly different issue. In all their submissions, our guests note the high percentage of material that is identified as violative and removed. There is no mention, however, of how much content the companies monitor. For example, while a total of 38% of abusive content on Twitter is removed, that could be 38% of ten, 10 million or 100 million posts. To what total figure do the percentages relate?
