The Senator will get a response. I am conscious of time and I want to get a question in to Twitter which has not had an opportunity to answer.

It would appear that, under Twitter's new advertising rules, environmental groups will not be able to pay for advertisements promoting green policies or pro-climate policy content after 22 November but, on the other hand, there appear to be over ten current Exxon Mobil tweets relating to climate change that Twitter does not classify as political issue advertisements. Will they be classified as political advertising after 22 November?
