YouTube is enhancing its platform’s safeguards, particularly for teenage users. On Thursday, the company announced restrictions on recommending videos about body weight, fitness, and physical appearance to teenagers. This decision, influenced by an advisory committee, aims to prevent the formation of negative self-perceptions among young viewers.

In its latest blog post, YouTube outlined the types of content that will no longer be suggested to teen audiences. This includes videos that compare physical features, idealize certain body types or fitness levels, or feature social aggression like non-contact fights and intimidation. This global update seeks to mitigate the negative impacts of such content on teens.

The advisory committee highlighted concerns over how repeated exposure to idealized content can lead teens to develop harmful beliefs about themselves. “Teens are particularly susceptible to negative self-images due to repeated messages about ideal standards,” the blog post noted.

Acknowledging that while a single video may be harmless, repeated exposure can be detrimental, YouTube is also refining its Community Guidelines to eliminate harmful content and shield minors from policy-violating videos.

YouTube today announced new settings that will let parents supervise their kids' better by linking their own YouTube accounts with their kids' YouTube accounts.

Moreover, YouTube is extending its support mechanisms, introducing crisis support resource panels in various European countries to assist users dealing with suicide and self-harm, directing them to third-party crisis services through specific search queries.

To safeguard minors, YouTube is launching a supervised experience, allowing parents and teens to link their accounts. This feature lets parents monitor their children’s channel activity and guide them in responsible content consumption and creation. Currently in development, this feature will soon be accessible via a new Family Centre hub.
