Yes, so first I’d like to say that you just said a word that’s very critical here, which is product, right. So section 230 relates to content, it relates to third parties. Many of these issues we’re talking about when we refer to Snapchat, these are product issues. These go to the design of the product. In fact, I’d like to say, you know, communicating versus connecting. So we do have, we do have children who meet these dealers in person, um, and then they communicate through other apps like Facebook Messenger, the Snapchat app. What we are seeing that is fundamentally different is this element of connecting. So in cases where these children, I mean these are children, right, 13 14 years old, they don’t have vehicles, they’re in school Monday through Friday, they’re at home with their parents on the weekend. And so at least for us, the fundamental difference here, the product defect is it’s connecting these children to these dealers, it’s giving them access, um, so I think they’re, and I’ll turn to Carrie in terms of legislation and other efforts, but some of this we can already do with what’s in place. We just need to hold snap and other companies that are doing this accountable. We need to be able to get answers to questions.
