I would like to come back to the example of Sri Lanka, with Mr. Neil Potts.

Mr. Potts said earlier that he was not aware that the incendiary videos had been sent up to Facebook. I would like to highlight that in an article in The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Hilmy Ahamed, vice-president of the Muslim Council of Sri Lanka, said that Muslim leaders had flagged Hashim's inflammatory videos to Facebook and YouTube using the services that were built into your reporting system.

Can I just confirm with Mr. Potts that if you were aware of these videos, Facebook would have removed them?
