The social media platform Tiktok recently banned a hashtag called Skinnytok – after European regulators warned it was promoting unrealistic body images and extreme weight loss. But eliminating this kind of content is not that simple. The hashtag is gone but there are still lots of influencers offering advice on how to get very, very thin. <<****LANGUAGE ADVISORY**** Please be advised that some listeners may find the language in #SKINNYTOK BAN objectionable. The word “fuck” will air bleeped at 90 seconds into the piece.>>
