The next part of the paragraph you quoted is the important part, where the author identifies what they think the problem in that scenario is. >What exactly are we talking about here? Say you’re a 13-year-old girl who is beginning to feel anxious about your appearance, who has followed some diet influencers online. Instagram’s algorithm might suggest more extreme dieting accounts with names such as “Eternally starved,” “I have to be thin” and “I want to be perfect.” Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder, so it's a big issue if Facebook is pushing young people interested in healthy weight loss toward "following" unhealthy body image and extreme dieting. (I don't know if you've known someone who has struggled with anorexia, but it can be really, really terrible.) Obesity being a problem doesn't negate the good that could be done by not algorithmically steering young people toward anorexia when they're looking to manage their weight in a healthy way.
