TikTok bans the #SkinnyTok hashtag for unhealthy weight-loss content. Will it actually solve the problem?

TikTok, a platform where misinformation and dangerous rhetoric often spreads far and wide, has officially removed the #SkinnyTok hashtag from its search results. The hashtag had become a space for creators to promote restrictive eating and other forms of unhealthy weight-loss content. 

TikTok spokesperson Paolo Ganino told Politico that the move was part of a “regular review” of the platform’s risks, but it followed considerable pressure from the European Union.
