I think that right now we really leave it up to the marketplace in the United States to determine whether there will be a requirement for a real name. There are other countries like China where you have to register your real name with the government before you use social media. I don't think, hopefully, we won't get to a situation like that because we know exactly why they're requiring people to register their real names with the government. And it's not to maintain civil discourse.
