And you know how we can do this then?

I mean, tighter legislation.

Please, give us the answer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tighter legislation.

My little bit of hair that's grey out on this on every day.

I mean, essentially, we need to become the gold standard in Europe.

We need to become the absolute gold standard in Ireland because we have so many tech giants and that's where the legislation just needs to get passed tomorrow.

If any form of a deepfake or cyberbullying or any sort of gender-based violence is on any of these social media platforms, they either face, it's not just a financial fine, they have to stop immediately.

The app verification could come in tomorrow if we had legislation to do that.

And essentially it needs to become less political and just more societal and we just need to make it happen.

But is there no appetite for it?

Like, why isn't it being done?

No, I think there's... Because I work with colleagues across... I mean, I know you spoke to MEP Kathleen Funchin and MEP Cynthia Nimuruku.

Like, I talk at length with those ladies, as well as my own colleagues in my party to say, this needs to happen.

Everybody's moving.

It's just a certain cohort at the higher level, particularly European front or...

tech giants are not taking it serious enough.

But if we, like I say, if we just move out the politics and just make it happen, then it happens.

It happened with COVID.
