I will stop Mr Ó Broin there. He made a very good point about community standards. Can he explain to the committee exactly what Facebook's community standards are? I was part of a very interesting debate with the Irish Independentlast weekend where two very reputable and highly respected journalists, Mr. Kevin Doyle and Mr. Philip Ryan, talked about exactly that point of community standards. They have received continuous verbal assaults online, no more than politicians. They spoke about that very point of going to community standards or making a complaint to Mr. Ó Broin's platform and getting the response that it did not breach the community standards. Could Mr Ó Broin explain to the committee, and give some specific examples, of what breaches of community standards are for Facebook?
