I didn't have a chance to get the answer to my first question in relation to Google's viewpoint on the GDPR. Many of the social media companies are based in Ireland. Effectively, our data protection commissioner is regulating for Europe, and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg has called on a GDPR-type approach to be rolled out globally.

What is your view on that? Will it work?
