Instagram and measures against eating disorders

Instagram has just introduced new utilities within the social network to provide support for people searching for eating disorders.

Instead of favoring their development, from the social network they intend to establish a wall that establishes exit options from these disorders. It will be offered through search engines. For example, if someone searches for content with the word “anorexia”, the social network directly offers you the possibility of getting help.

“Posts that contain the words you are looking for often encourage behaviors that cause harm and even death. If you are going through a bad time, we are here to help you “they say with a first message.

Among the help options implemented by the social network, it proposes talk to a friend, through messages or calls to someone you trust; speak to a helpline volunteer, through a message or call to a qualified person to listen and help in case of need or find other ways to feel better, reading tips that were helpful to other people.

Both Pinterest and TikTok offer similar help systems in order not to promote behaviors that can cause harm to people and promote the current of “body positive”, especially among the youngest.
