tiktok’s #SkinnyTok ban won’t stop eating content

Tiktok banned the #SkinnyTok trends and hashtags apps worldwide after receiving pressure from European lawmakers on June 1, according to Euractiv.

Skinnytok charms eating disorders and can affect people (mainly young women) to make themselves thin in order to obtain unrealistic standards of beauty.

Unfortunately, just because the tag is banned from using Tiktok does not mean that the content is particularly difficult. As Mashable previously reported, content rhythms rarely change the content of our conversation, even if it successfully changes some of our vocabulary. Users say “inactive” instead of suicide, not suicide; they say “Seggs” instead of sex; instead of porn, we get corn emojis. Similarly, although Skinnytok may have disappeared, users can still find the same content under the new name. The Tiktok community’s fitness content continues to promote similar content.

The ban came after a survey of Skinnytok by policymakers in Brussels and Paris, and found it was full of young women, many of whom looked thin and posted extreme diet and weight loss tips.

“[We] Tiktok spokesman Paolo Ganino said in a statement Monday that #SkinnyTok’s search results are related to unhealthy weight loss content because it is already linked to unhealthy weight loss content.

Now, when you search for the hashtag, you come across a page on it: “You’re not alone.”

“If you or someone you know has questions about body image, food, or exercise – it’s important to know that help is there and that you’re not alone. If you feel comfortable, you can talk to someone you trust or check out the resources below. Remember to take care of yourself and each other.” The page also includes a number for a National Eating Disorder Alliance, as well as a link to bring users to the Tiktok Security Center.

According to Politico, French Digital Minister Clara Chapaz called it a “collective victory” on Sunday.

Skinnytok ban is in one piece incision Details of the destructive community created by Liv Schmidt, Skinnytok’s biggest influencer. Since the early days of the internet, online communities have been charismatic, little-known physique and celebration of dietary craze, and Skinnytok is just the latest iteration of the old trend.

This trend to shrink to achieve the ideal thinness is so devastating because it stems from real-life privileges. Anti-fat bias affects people in work, finance, and relationships.

According to a LinkedIn survey, fat workers earn $2,000 less per year than those in the UK. Women in the United States and Germany experience “the steepest weight-bearing income relationship at the thin end of the distribution,” according to a study in the Journal of Applied Psychology. MIT researchers also found that managers who thought they would train a fat worker “have lower expectations for trainees’ success and work ethics before training.” Slimmer people get better treatment in the doctor’s office and can get more easily access to services like air travel.

Many activists believe that the answer to fatphobia cannot encourage thinness as much as trends like Skinnytok. Instead, they believe we should fight the fat man himself. Similarly, many physically active activists warn that lipophobia can become more complicated when other factors such as race, class, and disability are folded.

A report from the Pigeon Self-Esteem Project shows that nine out of 10 girls follow social media accounts, making them feel less beautiful, and more than half of respondents said they were unable to comply with online beauty standards. Nearly 30 million Americans suffer from eating disorders at some point in their lives, and only 27% of women receive any treatment. Worse, according to national anorexia and related diseases, hourly eating disorders lead to direct death directly from eating disorders. And, according to the Center for Diet Recovery, “Study shows that there is a clear link between social media and eating disorders.”
