And we have a free for all and you can spend whatever you want. And we're used to that and we think it's OK. But like I think other countries are allowed to have different rules, you know. But are any of those rules enforceable in a world where actually the campaign is conducted on platforms that are owned by ByteDance or by Elon Musk or by Mark Zuckerberg?

And right now, the Romanian court made this decision that we still get to decide. And of course, there are a lot of people who think that's unfair and they robbed this guy of his chance to be And actually the number two, the woman who came in second, she's angry as well. And lots of other people feel that this is the wrong way to fight the far right. And maybe they're right.

But it's a pretty fundamental question. And it's going to come up in a lot of election campaigns. We have a German election in a few weeks where there will absolutely be a huge Russian role. There are other elections coming. And in each one of those, we will now face this problem. And by the way, it's not just a Russian role now. It's also an American role.

or, I don't know, American of South African origin role. You know, Twitter is now also is not merely a platform that, you know, lets you decide what you want to see. Twitter also has an ideology that it pushes and promotes. And so should countries accept that as well? And I think this is going to be, you know, over the next year, a lot of different places are going to grapple with this problem.

I don't have a good answer either. And, you know, of course the decision to nullify the election has horrible repercussions and maybe it's going to result in a surge of support for the far right. I don't, you know, I don't know. I mean, it, it might.

It's very difficult. I mean, I think Twitter is going to be a problem for a lot of European countries, depending on how it's used. I mean, Musk has explicitly threatened the leaders of other countries. He threatened Trudeau. He's threatened, you know, Irish leaders.

If Twitter becomes a, you know, not a neutral platform where we can all have a debate, you a platform with a clear political agenda, then it's going to become a difficult problem also for, you know, for a lot of countries and not because it's Russian influence, but because it's American far right influence. And I don't know how people are going to deal with it. Maybe, you know, maybe.
