I respect your call on this and I'll support it, but want to just say for the record that I don't think it's the right call given the risks. As a parent of two teenage girls - one of whom has been hospitalized twice in part for body dysmorphia - I can tell you the pressure on them and their peers coming through social media is intense with respect to body image. I recognize that my family situation makes me somewhat biased but it also gives me first hand knowledge that most of the people looking at this issue don't have. There won't be hard data to prove causal harm for many years, if ever, but I was hoping we could maintain a moderately protective stance here given the risk to minors. I know these are difficult tradeoffs. I don't minimize the concerns about restricting voice and the internationalization angle. I just hope that years from now we will look back and feel good about the decision we made here. I wanted to take a moment to express my disagreement even as we move to implement this decision. Thanks for listening.

I don't think this is urgent to resolve, so I'm certainly willing to take a longer path to roll this out if it will help us land it better. I don't have strong opinions on other implementation details so I'll leave you to figure those out.

I'm generally supportive of finding a way to relax or lift these bans. That said, I'm not sure I was involved with how we got to this point, and it may be very difficult to relax restrictions from where we are now. I'm interested in seeing our best plan to do so, and then I can make a call on whether this something it makes sense to prioritize doing right now.
