A question for everyone in the audience. First of all, I mean, if we think about the impact of social media on adults. How would you say it impacts your life? Do you think you spend too much time on it? Is it probably making you a little bit more angry than you otherwise would be? Imagine subjecting that to a child whose brain is actually not well formed at all and actually really struggles to regulate their own emotions already. And I think it's worth thinking about what this is actually doing to adults. And if you start there, it's very clear that we shouldn't be running this experiment on children. We're kind of running an experiment on the whole of the Western world as it is. But we shouldn't be doing it on children and. Most people agree. And I 86% of parents would would agree that children shouldn't be on social media under 16. That's more in common. It's, it's, it's good polling data, I suppose the libertarian argument. It's not, it's not for you to tell my children what to look at. It's a very fringe position. But just to address it, what this will actually do is relieve the burden from so many parents because they know they can't do this on their own. It needs collective. Agreement across society to be able to deliver something like this.
