I ask for the DPC's experience because part of it will be around these independent complaints. People will come to us with a complaint, such as a problem they have with something on Twitter. They say that Twitter is not taking action and ask what they can do. That is part of the challenge. I made the point about the DPC. Ms Morgan might clarify the number of individual complaints the DPC gets every year. I understand it is in the thousands. I expect this will arise with social media companies as well.
