language that germany uses in its hate speech laws, the enforcement act, to remove, say, criticism of erdoganor even criticism of others, and also the same kind of frameworks in europe and in other parts of the world that for example would prevent people from denying the holocaust or denying the genocide are not applied in the same even fashion to ongoing genocides, like what's happening in myanmar. i think it is important to take those things into account whenever we're trying to advocate for things like section 230 reform which will have an impact on people all over the world, not just americans. pretty long-winded answer. >> no, no, this is -- you should feel free to expound at whatever length you like. this is great. i'd love to ask just the folks listening to put your questions in the chat because the next maybe 10 minutes or so, we might switch over to some questions. so yeah, feel free to throw them in the chat and i can kind of colate them towards the end and chat with jolene about them. just to return to this question of like what's the relationship between the states that are -- you
