If someone was to ask me why did Elon buy Twitter, one of the reasons is because he's got this idea in his head of turning X into this massive platform like they have in China with Weibo and the other ones where it's got a payment platform, it's got advertising in it, it's got the products in it, it's linked into Alibaba, all these different things all in one place.
That's the futuristic vision of social media.
Lots of news in the social media space.
The first inception of Arwen was as a moderation tool.
So there's been lots of talk about moderation, free speech, censorship.
Yeah.

We typically, our clients are brands.
We like Formula One's a client, ATP Tennis are a client.

So very often where it becomes a bit of a sensitive point is we have elite sports clients and them as individuals, they have tens of millions of followers that they would say, my hard work has brought me these followers.
So if I don't want my followers to hear what this person over here is going to say, I don't want them on my channel.
Whereas if
I think where Elon's going is Elon saying, but that person still should be allowed to shout out whatever they want to say on their channel.
