YouTube cracks down on videos that could encourage eating disorders
YouTube already bans videos that directly promote eating disorders, but now it'son content that may unintentionally encourage that behavior. To begin with, the service banning videos on eating disorders that feature"imitable" behavior or weight-oriented bullying. The company will also restrict informative and artistic videos containing disorders to users 18 and older.
You'll also see crisis resource panels for eating disorders in more places. While they already appear in search results in nine countries , you'll now see them underneath relevant videos in those areas. Viewers in the US may be encouraged to call or chat with the National Eating Disorder Association in the US.
The new approach will initially be viewable today and reach more people in the weeks ahead. YouTube says this is an"ongoing" effort. The addition is an acknowledgment that videos can affect people in"different ways," YouTube says. Ideally, this will minimize the chances of helpful video creators inadvertently fostering eating disorders in at-risk viewers.Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget’s editorial team.
