YouTube to stop pushing content glorifying body ideals for teen viewers

YouTube has announced that it will stop recommending videos to teenagers that glorify specific fitness levels, body weights, or physical features, following concerns from experts about the potential harm caused by repeated exposure to such content, reported The Guardian.

While 13 to 17-year-olds will still have access to these videos, YouTube’s algorithms will no longer push young users towards similar content after they have viewed it, preventing them from being led down related “rabbit holes.”
