YouTube is restricting access to weight loss and fitness videos for teenagers. Due to the platform's algorithms, viewers keep getting video recommendations that are similar to the ones they viewed. This means that people tend to watch a particular genre or type of video on loop or several times in a row, which ends up with them watching extreme kinds of content. To avoid this, the popular video sharing platform is restricting access to fitness videos and weight loss videos, especially those that idealise certain body types. Repeated viewing of certain types of videos could affect their body image and self-esteem. These restrictions were first rolled out in the United States, and now YouTube is extending the restrictions to teenagers in Europe. Videos that will be restricted are ones that idealise a certain weight group or fitness levels, compare physical features, and are socially aggressive in nature. YouTube New Update: Google-Owned Video Streaming Platform Introduces New AI Tool To Recover Hacked Accounts; Check Details.
