YouTube Implements New Restrictions on Teen Fitness and Weight Loss Videos

YouTube is taking steps to limit teenagers' exposure to videos that idealize specific fitness levels, body weights, or physical features, following warnings from experts that repeated viewing of such content could be harmful. While teens aged 13 to 17 will still have access to these videos, YouTube’s algorithms will no longer recommend related content that could lead them down "rabbit holes." The platform acknowledges that although the content doesn’t breach guidelines, repeated exposure could negatively impact some users' self-perception. These new guidelines, which have already been implemented in the US and are now rolling out globally, aim to prevent teens from being repeatedly exposed to videos that idealize certain physical traits or encourage social aggression. This move aligns with the UK’s new Online Safety Act, which mandates that tech companies protect children from harmful content and assess the risks posed by their algorithms.

The Return of Harry Styles’s Iconic Designer

This September is set to be especially hectic, even by end-of-summer, back-to-school standards. With major events like the U.S. Open finals, the Harris-Trump debate, and the Emmys competing for attention, Fashion Month, which kicks off in New York and then moves to London, Milan, and Paris, faces stiff competition. To stand out, the fashion world is accessorizing with impactful content. New York Fashion Week starts not with the usual glitz, but with a nonpartisan march organized by the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue, alongside the nonprofit I Am a Voter. Featuring designers like Michael Kors and Thom Browne, the march from Herald Square to Bryant Park will highlight voting as the ultimate fashion statement, complete with a rally and voter registration booths.
