Well, and I think we also have to talk about the Elon Musk of it all, right? I mean, he is essentially adopting the Twitter practice, like community notes, right? Which, I mean, like hand up, Community Notes is an interesting feature. Of the Muskian features, it is the one that sort of makes some sense, right? Probably the best thing he's done. Yeah, and it is.

Yes, it does.

Yes, it does.

Yes, it does.

It sure does on X.com. But, I mean, going to that, and then also, I get this sense, and I, you know, the reporter in me, like, I can't really, like, prove it. But I think that these guys, like, when I saw all the announcements, you know, the glib part of me is like, Zuckerberg just wants people to be able to say the word retarded, which everyone uses on X now. It's like, oh, free speech is back.
