- It suggests the need to further discuss the intent behind the proposed legislation.

So if I if I'm understanding correctly, if we're talking about a a private sector entity that is leveraging technology, that then a a New Yorker feels has they have been impacted by, right, there would be a number of Avenue, that would be depending on the use case of impact.

So it's difficult to give you an answer directly without under standing the the details behind it, but we can certainly discuss in further detail the intent of of the bill and and again, the commitment that we have to strike that balance that's also necessary in our world of continuing evolving and emerging technology.
