Yep, and you just put Brazil on the top, and you'll see a report that I published a little over two years ago. Yeah, U.S. tax dollars funding text message censorship in Brazil. Published this in July 2022, so just in time for the CIA director to descend on Brazil. And you'll see we U.S. taxpayers paid to – to get the censorship state installed in Brazil. U.S. taxpayers?
