TikTok plans to ban most weight loss-related content from its app next month, as per new community guidelines. The latest changes are expected to impact creators sharing content on weight-loss drugs used to treat obesity and diabetes. The move intends to guard against the spread of health misinformation and curtail potential harm to minors exposed to 'potentially harmful' weight management behaviors. However, creators argue the restrictions will impact a growing community offering support for traditionally marginalized diseases.
