negativeHealth
Eve Jones, a woman who battled anorexia, decided to quit TikTok after realizing the platform was triggering her eating disorder. She argues that while banning "skinnytok" (content glorifying extreme thinness) is a step in the right direction, it doesn’t address the deeper problem—how social media algorithms can amplify harmful content and push vulnerable users toward dangerous habits.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one person’s struggle—it’s a wake-up call about how social media platforms can unintentionally (or sometimes deliberately) feed harmful behaviors. Eve’s story highlights the real-world consequences of poorly regulated content, especially for people recovering from eating disorders. It’s a reminder that moderation and ethical design matter when billions of people are scrolling every day.
