00:00As of yesterday, Meta has sent a number of documents that we are processing.
00:10We expect that in the near future, we will listen to them.
00:19As I have said before, for Google, for Microsoft which manages LinkedIn, and for X,
00:31on the part of MCMC, several things are being processed.
00:36Each has its own perspective, but I have a perspective that we need to take action
00:46and we will not wait too long before these actions are taken.
00:53Some groups have said that the action taken against Mr. Kini is a bit big handed and it's under criminal.
01:02So can you comment on why has this measure been taken?
01:08The laptop of the amateur has been taken yesterday because they published a commentary article on KJ's pro-life project.
01:39They are witnesses in this matter, they are not the target of the investigation.
01:46So it is based on the response that the PDRM received from the Ministry of Justice
01:54regarding the investigation papers that have been sent in the case.
01:59But isn't it a bit heavy handed for the press to have the laptop taken away?
02:07It is to help in the investigation process.
02:14After the investigation is over, I believe it will be returned.
02:18It won't be a problem.
