If I can follow up, no ads are being shown to under-18s where you believe you know the age of the applicant. However, you accept that there are many people on your platform whose age you cannot really verify. You are basing that on the basis that they have stated their age when we know there are many people on your platform who are not the age they said they were. Following up on the previous speaker in respect of the advertising issue, am I understanding correctly that it is a reactive process rather than a proactive process? Anybody can place an ad without being validated as to who they are with clear forms of identification as to their legal status, the purpose of their advertising and so on.
