Main Body
Many companies like Meta and YouTube talked to the experts. But the company X did not come. X does not delete hate speech as much as before. X also refused to remove a bad video of an attack.
許多公司如 Meta 和 YouTube 與專家進行了交流，但 X 公司則未出席。X 對於刪除仇恨言論的力度不如以往。X 還拒絕刪除一段關於襲擊的惡劣影片。
Meta and YouTube have problems too. They do not always follow their own rules. Some websites do not say clearly that hate speech is bad.
Meta 和 YouTube 同樣存在問題。他們並不總是遵守自己的規則。有些網站沒有明確表示仇恨言論是不被允許的。
These companies are from America. They do not have offices in Australia. This makes it hard for Australia to make them follow the law.
這些公司來自美國，在澳洲沒有辦公室。這使得澳洲很難要求他們遵守法律。
Conclusion
The experts finished this part of the work. Now they will look at universities and security.
專家完成了這部分的工作。現在他們將研究大學與安全問題。

🚫 Making Sentences Negative
In English, we use do not or does not to say 'no'. This is a key skill for A2 learners to describe problems or absences.
The Rule:
- Use do not for groups or many things (Meta and YouTube do not).
- Use does not for one thing or one company (X does not).
From the text:
- "X does not delete hate speech..."
- "They do not have offices..."
- "X did not come..." (This is for the past!)
