 differing interpretations. Various legislative and regulatory bodies of the jurisdictions in which we operate our business, may expand such current laws or enact new laws in these areas. Existing and newly adopted laws and regulations with respect to the processing, privacy and security of personal data, and customer marketing practices or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, have imposed and may continue to impose obligations that affect our business, place increasing demands on our technical infrastructure and resources, require us to incur increased compliance costs and cause us to further adjust our advertising, marketing, security or other business practices. As we continue these projects over the next several years, we may experience disruptions or difficulties that could adversely affect our business. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us or the third parties upon which we rely to comply with laws and regulations that govern our business operations and our policies, could expose us to penalties or civil or criminal liability and result in claims against us by governmental entities, classes of litigants or others, regulatory inquiries, negative publicity and a loss of confidence in us by our users and advertisers.

If we are unable to adequately control and manage this practice, it could result in inaccurately inflated customer figures used for internal planning purposes and public reporting, which could adversely affect our ability to manage our business and harm our reputation.
