But we will try to do the right thing. We will always keep improving. There may have been mistakes. There were mistakes in the Palestinian case. There was an automation error, the hashtag was blocked. This was an automation error. When the hashtag was blocked, all posts related to Al Aqsa Mosque were also blocked automatically. It was a mistake, as I said, an automation error. Now these errors have started to decrease.
Later, with this block, the system got a little confused. I’m talking about Instagram, by the way. Now, let’s say you shared a content on Instagram, if it is not original, the way of communication of Instagram is as follows; wants to focus more on original content. So you share, you share, and when that happens, it can sometimes lower the priority order. This problem has doubled in the Al Aqsa Mosque. The automation problem has doubled. After the Palestine incident, we took a series of actions. We have also taken many steps to better develop our automation system.”
