Thank you Anna Ströbele Romero for Netzpolitik.

It's on social media and actually on META, so 2 days ago, a group of MEPs sent a letter to the Commission because a lot of accounts have been suspended on META that we're talking about the flamingo revolution in Albania,

and they've asked the Commission to look at this, to analyze it, to go into contact with META on this. And they call it a censorship.

So my question would be if you have a comment on this, and if you will, in fact, look at this or contact me over this. Thank you.

So first important point to recall Ana is that the DSA applies only and exclusively in the European Union. That's the first point to recall. Second point. We're not surprised.

We came up with an opening of an investigation two years ago into META precisely on shadow banning of political voices,

so we have suspicions that indeed there is a constant moderation taking place in certain areas. Now we are looking into it.

I will not prejudge on the final outcome of that investigation, but this is definitely not a surprise.

And let me just recall a figure because you were speaking of censorship.

More than 99% of content moderation decisions are taken by online platforms themselves.

This is why the DSA is trying to make sure that our citizens,

when these content moderations are unjustified, can fight back against these decisions by platforms. Good.

Now I see a couple of hands online. Max Ramsay, is it for Thomas? Sorry, no, it's, Ukrainian agriculture.

OK, so that's a topic for, we'll see who, and let's see then,

this cause this could still be for Thomas Karina, Karina online. Hello, Paula.

I first question on what depends and EBF measure. Karina, we, we don't hear you well. Can you? Yes, I have a question. Can you hear me well right now? I couldn't personally I couldn't understand. When Give it a 3rd go mm. You know. I'm afraid, Karina, we cannot hear you.

I'm sorry Let me take then Max Ramsay since he was online.

Then we'll know for whom it is. Go ahead.
