Okay. Thank you.

I also want to go to Google. You mentioned that you need clear definitions of unlawful speech. I looked into Germany's transparency report and it turns out that of 167,000 complaints in Germany, it was only in 145 cases that your colleagues needed to turn to specialists to determine whether or not this was unlawful speech. Why, then, do you think this is really a problem? Is it really a problem of definition or is it really a problem of handling the number of complaints and the massive amount of hate speech online?
