Thank you. It's a question related to the announcement today on TikTok. What I did want to know is, we had in February that there were issue that you asked for the addictive design to be changed, the European Commission did. And then now we have this demand for changes to tackle harmful rabbit holes effect. And we've also had previous issues about settings.
I know this is a facetious question, but allow me. Are we going towards a moment where Europe's going to argue that it should own the European TikTok à la US and Trump? And considering you're challenging the business model of a platform, do you think the European Commission is going too far and are you prepared for what could be a very difficult fight? Thank you.

Thanks, Raz. I would put it the other way around. I don't think that the Commission is going too far. We believe that TikTok is not going far enough to protect our citizens. It's the other way around.
