brad smith is one of my heroes in the industry. he is an unusual person.irst of all, he is a rare baby boomer leader of the top level of the tech industry. i think he has more experience than some of these other people. what i found so cool about this is that microsoft has been working under the supervision of a judge with a special master in a court in virginia since 2016. so they has a mechanism in place with a special master's permission to immediately effectively shut down the sites as soon as they were identified. if you think about the things we order in the keep world at the digital economy under attack and 70 ways, we do have to -- in some anyways, we do have to come up with rapid triage when problems are discovered. like the registration of web don't names, as murder -- algorithmically, is a very smart thing that we have not heard of before. emily: they are offering siefert cybersecurity the think tanks, political organizations -- how effective is this kind of cybersecurity support, if you will, for even local candidates? >> i think it's great. li
