TikTok has announced that it has made plans to support their users mental health. It involves having a search intervention feature that directs users to support resources if they look up terms such as “suicide” or “eating disorder”.
We are glad that social media platforms are starting to think about the negative impacts they can have on their user’s mental health. TikTok is known for creating self-esteem issues especially for teenager girls due to there being videos of people with the ‘beauty’ filer on. It can create unrealistic goals and make people not feel good about themselves.
Do you feel like social media effects your mental health? If yes, what else do you think these platforms need to do to help the wellbeing of their users?
