What I will say to the Deputy is, and I am sorry for repeating myself but he is giving me a level of detail I am not aware of, that AI systems will do much of the content moderation that is done by humans. On his question, I will again go back to the point that the EU AI Act is there to protect citizens. While I know we are not at the enforcement stage, it is my ambition not only that we can be where we intend to be with our AI office, but also that the regulations will apply to providers and subcontractors. I do not know whether that answers the Deputy's question.
