Is there a source for this? The article doesn't seem to mention it. On that topic, should we update the title to match the article title?

From the article:

"Mark Zuckerberg told a jury on Wednesday that he overruled concerns about teen wellbeing from staff and 18 experts to lift a ban on Instagram beauty filters because he was concerned about "free expression"."

"Instagram temporarily suspended beauty filters - which digitally alter people's appearance - to conduct a review of the features in 2019. All of the 18 experts Meta hired concluded they presented a wellbeing issue."
