YouTube Works With Organizations To Create Guidelines To Fight Eating Disorders

YouTube is combating eating disorders with new guidelines. The framework will limit what eating content younger, vulnerable views…like teens… can see. Some of the changes include content that shows or describes behavior like restricting calories, setting age restrictions on content that discusses disordered eating behavior and adding information about mental health resources under videos related to eating disorders. In making the guidelines, the company worked with National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) and Asociación de Lucha contra la Bulimia y Anorexia.
