Zuckerberg (on cosmetic surgery filter ban): "It has always felt paternalistic to me that we've limited people's ability to present themselves in these ways... I'm supportive of... lifting restrictions"

Andy O'Connell: "Mark- Next Thursday we are meeting to decide whether we should continue, modify, or lift the temporary ban on Cosmetic Surgery AR Effects that we instituted in October 2019 in response to expert and press concerns about potential negative wellbeing impacts (especially on minors)." Mark Zuckerberg: "It has always felt paternalistic to me that we've limited people's ability to present themselves in these ways, especially when there's no data I've seen that suggests doing so is helpful or not doing so is harmful, and that there's clearly demand for this type of expression. 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." ████: "Hi Mark - Attached is our product/comms plan to lift the ban on Cosmetic Surgery AR Effects. Let us know if you need any more information to decide whether we should continue, modify, or lift the temporary ban." Mark Zuckerberg: "I'm supportive of moving forward with option 2 (lifting restrictions but not promoting on IG). 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."
