Pinterest Bans ‘Thinsporation’ and Pro-Anorexia Content

Hey Strangekittens. I saw something that made me happy today.

Pinterest Bans ‘Thinsporation’ and Pro-Anorexia Content.

This is a great step. I was seeing a lot of ‘thinspiration’ pics on Pintrest and reported every one i saw. No one should have to feel the need to go to unhealthy extremes to lose weight, or look a certain way.

I’m all about strong, healthy body image here. This relates to what i wrote on Friday about body image.

Pintrest is taking a big stand in enacting a rule like this as it’s very specific, but it bodes well for the health of their users.

Thank-you Pintrest, for being a a good company with common sense.
