YouTube to Ban More Eating Disorder Content #shorts

YouTube announced today it will screen more eating disorder content to reduce the potential for dangerous copycat behavior. The video-based social media platform will also implement age-based viewing restrictions for some eating disorder content.

In a statement, the director of YouTube Health, Garth Graham, MD, MPH, said the reason for the changes was “to create space for community, recovery and resources, while protecting viewers.”

The changes were developed with input from the National Eating Disorder Association and other related groups. #eating #eatingdisordertreatment #bulimia #anorexic #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #socialmedia #webmd
