Today with David McCullagh · Eating disorder videos being recommended to young girls · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

where they build communities and they say, let's start up WhatsApp group chats.

Let's start up where we can talk to each other about these things where it's no longer really monitored.

And in terms of having people checking and reviewing the content that's posted online, there's a thousand ways to spell a word.

There's a thousand ways to write anorexia, bulimia, eating disorder.

There's a thousand ways you can use an at sign for an A. You can use a euro sign for an E. And so these things aren't caught by,

It has to be a human reviewing these things.

Absolutely.

But I felt this immense amount of pressure.

I thought everybody was experiencing this.

And, you know, I was talking to friends about it even recently.

And one of my friends said to me, oh, yeah, I saw the same thing, but I wasn't affected by it.

And that's the thing.

It's all, as Harriet said, it's subjective to how we react to these things.

For me, it became really pressurizing, whereas for others, they weren't really bothered by it.

And that's the huge kind of...

question at the moment it's where regulation of these things can be really difficult but that's probably the only the only solution to it where you know these platforms are monitoring constantly the content that is happening yeah and i mean you had to delete some of your social media i deleted tiktok for four years

and Instagram for a little bit as well, but I gradually went back onto that afterwards, but I was only really viewing friends' content.

But TikTok, that was actually my own decision, where I said to myself when I was going into recovery, I can't be on this anymore because the inspiration that is on there, and it's glamorising really, really thin women.

I mean, it's glamorising bones, and it's really...

It's skeletal women, you know, wearing cute little dresses and little tights and nice little shoes.
