Just had my third grandchild, and she's two weeks old, so that's actually very, very current.

I love holding her, and now I know what to do while I do that.

It's a giant responsibility and we take it very serious.

You know, there are a couple of aspects to that.

Our business is based on consumer trust.

Once the consumer starts losing trust, the brand goes nowhere.

Investors start losing faith and everything goes down the drain.

So, you know, if we don't do that part of our business well, there is all the other stuff that I could talk about and maybe we talk about in a little while.

It goes away.

You talk about it as a database, you know.

Nilay, the way I would talk about it is I would talk about that our largest businesses are on modern cloud-native and AI-enabled platforms.

And these platforms then let us securely ingest massive amounts of data, like you're saying, in real time.

and then apply advanced analytics and machine learning while we keep privacy, consent, and security at the center.

That's how I think about it.

So the database as a function sort of has morphed into data lakes, and then now I would refer to it as a platform.

Most of the data, what we do when we hold with the data is, you know, I start with the last part that I talked about.

So keeping privacy, consent and security at the center.

What you really need to think about is how do you do that?

And how do you do that better than anybody else?

And how do you do that in light of the fact that the bad actors know everything that you just said?
