Can you give an example of the type of content you want censored?

Glorifications of eating disorders. That is very dangerous content, especially for minors. If you want more information: https://www.klicksafe.de/en/verherrlichung-von-essstoerungen https://www.klicksafe.de/en/verherrlichung-von-essstoerungen

  Can’t have anyone posting: > photos or videos of thin girls and women > Motivational texts, sayings and quotes for losing weight ?

    You deliberately misquoted the article, you are clearly not discussing in good faith. I won't respond any further. > photos or videos of extremely thin girls and women or bodies that serve as weight loss motivation and ideal images

      “Extremely” is an undefinable crutch word used to make an otherwise orwellian argument seem somehow humane. The second bit was quoted as stands.

I've volunteered in crisis intervention and mental health coaching for a decade or so and this is a major part of certain communities. When ED issues come up, especially in teens, concerning topics are usually (not limited to) -How to hide it better from your parents/friends -how to be more efficient at it -selfies of teens showing dangerously low body fat as "goals" -shaming of people for eating (at all) -coaching people who are vulnerable from other conditions into ED as a way to feel better. Bear in mind in some cases were talking about people who will be trying to hide that all they consume is (relatively common amount) half a small orange and 1 egg white a day and as little water as possible. It's not 'dieting'. It's a mental health condition that, untreated, leads to death.

    To be clear, this is specifically about glorification of anorexia and bulimia. Are you familiar with these disorders? No one is saying they are not permitted to speak. But if you want to post on a platform, you will also have to adhere with the rules and guidelines of that platform. When you don’t, your posts will be removed. And if your platform of choice says to not glorify these disorders, don’t be surprised when posts glorifying the disorders get removed from the platform.

      Of course, I’m intimately familiar with particular individuals that society has decided is ok to constantly berate and tell them they know what’s best for them and that they’re too thin and they aren’t eating enough and etc etc etc. Keep in mind none of these folks are medical doctors, they haven’t seen any blood tests, they have no idea how much this individual actually eats, they really have no reason to speak about any bit of their medical status whatsoever. They have absolutely zero context, they are as a child who walks into a movie in the middle and immediately starts criticizing it. But somehow society has decided thin folks are an acceptable target for baseless harassment, and she has to deal with being a pariah anywhere except LA.

    I just believe that people shouldn't die from preventable MH conditions. You can look in from the outside with no working knowledge of the problem and think as you please.

Do you think there is no ability to form a consensus on what is harmful content, or that the community has no right to discourage or remove content they have decided is harmful?
