Good news! It looks like the powers that be at Instagram and Facebook have finally decided to put age restrictions on the promotion of any comestic surgery services and diet products on their platforms. Now if you’re under 18, you won’t be able to see any content relating to those sh*tty detox teas, appetite suppressant lollipops and the like.

Actor and body positivity campaigner, Jameela Jamil, is said to have played a role in bringing these new restrictions to life. She took to Twitter and Instagram to share the news, calling the move a “huge step” in the right direction.

It’s just the coolest thing to be a part of. A big congrats to all of the people who made noise about this. We have all made a huge step in protecting young people from the perils of the devious diet/detox industry. Onwards and upwards we go. Social media now. Next: The law. https://t.co/AfsWceP5zT

THIS IS HUGE NEWS. @i_weigh are changing the world together. After a bunch of shouting, screaming, and petitioning... we have managed to get the attention of the people at the top, and they have heard us and want to protect us. And this is just the beginning of our efforts. As of now, if you’re under 18, you will no longer be exposed to any diet/detox products, and for all other ages; all fad products that have bogus, unrealistic claims will be taken down and easy to report. I’ve been working with Instagram all year towards this, who were amazing to deal with, and they expressed that they passionately care about creating a safer space for us all online. This happened so much faster than I expected and I’m so proud and happy and relieved. WELL DONE to the many people who have been working towards this huge change. This is a mass effort. This is an extraordinary win that is going to make a big difference. Influencers have to be more responsible. ❤️

  • Jennifer Lawrence: “I just think it should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV. I mean, if we’re regulating cigarettes & sex & cuss words because of the effect it has on our younger generation, why aren’t we regulating things like calling people fat?"
