They know exactly what is happening. They track every single piece of data, every single direct message. Everything that happens on their sites, they know. When it came to child exploitation, they put an end to that on their sites. They could do the exact same thing here if they choose to do so. And we have not seen them willing to take those steps to really look at their platforms, to really say, okay, we cannot allow this to happen.
