Do we want safeguards on it?

Apparently, yes.

Some of that is about safety of your data, what stays in Europe.

Some of that is in making these companies obey European rules, which some of them aren't very keen on.

But I think the ultimate threat is that one side gives up on the other.

that's maybe not the best place to get to.

Delays on some products.

I mean, they get slower to, I mean, threads, I think.

Was it from Meta took a while to go?

I mean, there are things where they need to get it cleared with European regulators.

And maybe there are things that you're prepared to test in the US or in another market where you've got a bit more room to do what you like.

So, yeah, maybe we're going to be a bit behind the curve on what happens in Europe.

I mean, the whole idea of the EU law was to go after closed systems.

I mean, something like Apple.

The idea was that you have a bit more choice about the kind of products that you have, that these are not pushed at you.

I mean, that's a very good question.

This is not the days of the old PC box where you plug in every bit of tech you like.

I mean, it's quite handy to go on Google search and have your Google Maps pop up.

And that's been one of the things that's been taken away.

Apple is very clear about what it wants, that it gives you this beautiful walled garden and everything is perfect and they've tested it the way they like it and it's just great.
