Now, this is real data coming right into the faces of American voters, children and teens. And the point is that we are capturing this. We're capturing ephemeral content, which from Google's perspective is impossible. That's the whole point is that it's ephemeral. It appears like search results, search suggestions, YouTube recommendations.

We're not waiting for the laws or regulations because guess what? They're not coming. Because there's too much money being donated by Google, especially, to politicians. And there are no laws or regulations coming. And the ones that have been passed in the EU have not worked. The tech companies, Google especially, have just ignored them. But when you monitor and you expose... That's different.

That caused Google in 2024, we know because we have all the data to show it, to back off for the first time. They backed off on some of their most powerful manipulations. I can give you a quick example. Four or five days before the election, we noticed that on Google's home page, which is seen 500 million times a day in the US,

So we went public on October 31st and notified Google, too, that we were capturing all of that content on their home page. We were capturing it. And that's court admissible data. And on that night of October 31st, they stopped. And we have all the data to show that they stopped nationwide.

In other words, they start from that point on, they sent out very few go vote reminders and they were sent them out equally to Democrats and Republicans, which is how things should be. So I know I'm just rambling on and you feel like interrupting me, but I'm very passionate about what we're doing. What we're doing is extremely important because it protects democracy. And we must do this.
