That is interesting. We are doing a study right now on the most heavily used online platforms.

Take the example of TikTok and other services that may be offered in Chinese. There are also Instagram, which is mainly in the United States, and Facebook. Separately, we find that there are far more Instagram users in Canada than TikTok users. Instagram users in general outnumber TikTok users by far. So it is very interesting to see our partners in the United States enacting legislation to regulate the use of TikTok but not really of Instagram.
