YouTube Tightens Restrictions on Videos That Could Promote Eating Disorders

YouTube is taking new steps to reduce the promotion of eating disorders on its platform. The video-sharing site will now prohibit videos that unintentionally promote eating disorders, such as content featuring weight-oriented bullying or “imitable” behavior. Videos that discuss disorders will be restricted to users aged 18 and older. The platform will also show crisis resource panels in more locations, including underneath relevant videos, to offer support to at-risk viewers.
