And not to mention the recent controversy surrounding weight loss adverts…
The app has been in the firing lines after people noticed “intermittent fasting” and weight loss adverts coming up on their TikTok’s, which many say can promote disordered eating patterns.
In fact, the entire weight loss culture on TikTok has been called into question a few months ago.
Many pointed out how toxic the environment on the app can be, especially for a young, impressionable audience.
“I hate opening Tik Tok and seeing constant videos of weight loss and being skinny shoved down my throat,” wrote one user.
