Do the companies believe there should be a higher level of legal accountability to them for advertising or for algorithmic targeting? I do not simply want their information on their internal mechanisms. I have asked about the level of legal accountability because that is what we are considering.
We have not had an opportunity to speak about WhatsApp but we know it is one of the main mechanisms and it is owned by Facebook, which was not spoken about in the presentation. I ask Mr. Ó Broin to elaborate on that matter.
I am sorry, Chairman, but I want to ensure that the written replies relate to my questions.
