And then that flows through all of our policies in a lot of ways, right?

By the time you're actually litigating with a government or pushing back on them, that's pretty late in the funnel.

I'd say...

a bunch of this stuff starts a lot higher up in the decision of where do we put data centers then um there are a lot of countries where you know we may have a lot of people using the service in a place it might be you know good for the service in some ways good for those people if we could reduce the latency by having a data center nearby them but you know for whatever reason we just feel like hey this government does not have a good track record on on um

basically not trying to get access to people's data.

And at the end of the day, I mean, if you put a data center in a country and the government wants to get access to people's data, then they do, at the end of the day, have the option of having people show up with guns and taking it by force.

So I think that there's a lot of decisions that go into how you architect the systems years in advance of these actual...

confrontations that end up being really important.

So you put the protection of people's data as a very, very high priority.

There are more harms that I think can be associated with that.

And I think that that ends up being a more critical thing to defend against governments.

Whereas if another government has a different view of what should be acceptable speech in their country,

especially if it's a democratically elected government, then I think that there's a certain amount of deference that you should have to that.

You know, I've seen it.

It's really hard from the outside to know exactly what happened in each of these cases.

You know, we've obviously been

In a bunch of our own cases where agencies or different folks will just say, hey, here's a threat that we're aware of.

You should be aware of this too.

It's not really pressure as much as it is just...

flagging something that our security systems should be on alert about.
