TikTok, Instagram, and Extreme Weight Loss

Tell TikTok and Instagram Leadership: Stop Pushing Extreme Weight Loss and Dieting on Kids!

Why is this important?

Social media is a nightmare for kids struggling with food. TikTok and Instagram, which have a large teen user base, have a responsibility to make sure their sites are safe and user friendly for kids and adults alike. No one should be bombarded with content promoting disordered eating, extreme weight loss, or dangerous body augmentation.

Across the country, thousands of young people are speaking out about how videos on TikTok and Instagram sparked or spurred their illnesses.

It’s past time that platforms like TikTok and Instagram stop pushing toxic eating disorders, extreme dieting, and weight loss on teen users, particularly girls, girls of color, and LGBTQ youth. Sign on to demand that TikTok CEO Shouzi Chew and Head of Instagram at Meta Adam Mosseri immediately stop serving dieting and weight loss content and ads to children’s accounts.
