It's gonna be a a challenge.
Anyway, sorry, I cut you off Daniel.
I so I mean I think like X i it's changed significantly in the last year too.
But I I do feel leading up to the election that it's become quite a conservative echo chamber.
Um and when Elon first acquired X, I was like, this is great.
It's a real free speech platform, all that.
And I still feel that way.
I still think it's awesome.
But yeah, it does increasingly feel as though the algorithm is leaning heavily on boosting conservative stuff.
And that worries me in the long term, just because I think it lowers the quality of the platform and the information environment and many other things.
So I hope Elon has a bone to pick in this election.
But maybe once that's done, we can I don't know though.
Probably not, because there's gonna be a buttlery and jihad through the institution There's gonna be a march through the institutions that happens if Trump wins, that's gonna require a lot of social media boosting.
But I would also just say as a matter of public
public policy we've seen the Internet
balcanize more in in important ways.
You know, the European internet is increasingly its own world.
I don't know how recently either of you guys have been to Europe, but it's a pretty different place at this point, and it will become more so.
Because the Europeans are gonna start mandating censorship and they're gonna really start bringing the hammer down.
It's important to them.
