I only have 30 seconds left. We have talked a lot about social media companies, the debate as to whether they are publishers, and the content people get. We know all of the data as to where people from certain age cohorts access news. There is clearly a shift already taking place. People are accessing news from AI-driven aggregators on different platforms a lot more. Do the existing regulatory frameworks pierce the stuff that is coming through these AI platforms? That may be a question for the Electoral Commission and Coimisiún na Meán. Where are we in that space?
