Instagram screenshot of Jasmine.4.t’s thank yous. She says “l don't even know what to say. I can't believe this is happening. My album You Are The Morning is out. The love so far has been phenomenal. I could never have hoped for this. New video out now by @dir.harvfrost for Guy Fawkes Tesco Dissociation, a song I wrote about thinking about KMS in Tesco a few years ago, where I imagined the next chapter where I found "connection next to true self/something larger than my life". Wild to be living that now with this album out in this form, featuring a stellar cast. Thank you so much to everyone involved in this project including @phoebebridgers @lucydacus @julienrbaker@_eobr@phoenix_rousiamanis Today is my wonderful theyfriend @stone.grunge's birthday and it's an honour to use their name on the track Roan, written about the night we met thank you to my chosen family and the borderless anarchism of trans people thank you thank you

Zuckerberg's statement was timed with the release of a post by Meta Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan: We want to undo the mission creep that has made our rules too restrictive and too prone to over-enforcement. We're getting rid of a number of restrictions on topics like immigration, gender identity and gender that are the subject of frequent political discourse and debate. It's not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms.
