YouTube stops recommending fitness content promoting specific body standards to teenagers.

YouTube will stop recommending videos to teenagers that glorify specific fitness levels, body weights, or physical features, amid concerns about their potential negative impact on young users. While 13 to 17-year-olds can still view such content, the platform's algorithms will no longer promote similar videos after initial views. This measure, now global after starting in the US and UK, aims to protect teens' wellbeing by limiting exposure to idealized body standards and social aggression.
