It's not a hypothetical. So Facebook in 2015 was actually accused of predicting whether teenagers on their platform were struggling from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and then they were selling them out to advertisers. So this was a slide that was actually circulated. And you can imagine, right? So this is like someone at their most vulnerable state.

Not only are they suffering from anxiety, they're also teenagers. They're still figuring out the identity. So the moment that you tap into this vulnerability, the damage that you can do, I mean, it's very obvious. Then there's also potentially beneficial use cases of that kind of tracking.

A hundred percent. And I was recently talking to a mother whose son attempted to commit suicide and it's traumatizing. And for me, we actually have this opportunity there to catch it early. Because as you said, typically how it works is you enter a full on depression, which first of all, even for an adult, when you commit to it, it's really difficult to get out.

Because that's the point when you're inward turning, you're not necessarily seeking out help and it's really hard to work your way out. What you would ideally do, and this is where the tracking actually comes in handy, is you catch it early. And what you can do with your phone, for example, is just looking at your smartphone sensing data.

Maybe you're not leaving the house as much anymore as you used to. Maybe there's much less physical activity. You're not taking as many calls anymore. So there's this deviation from your typical baseline. And again, it might be nothing. Maybe you're just on vacation and you're having a great time. But it's like I can send you this early warning signal that says, maybe two people you nominate.
