Okay. Ms McGinley and Ms McDonald made the point regarding the platforms. However, the platforms were before the committee both in public and in private session and one thing I have a sense of from them is that they will make a change in their business model and algorithms if they feel there will be a public mood that is negative towards them which impacts their commercial clients who subsequently do not want to be associated with a certain platform. You can see that with certain platforms, large corporate entities will migrate because the platform has a negative connotation for them and their brand. Notwithstanding that governments, states and the European Commission have a huge part to play, the companies themselves will know this will have a negative connotation for them. Would Mr. O'Connor agree with that synopsis?
