This story is very relevant to our conversation of the past couple weeks: Tik Tok is banning ads for for weight loss supplements and fasting apps.https://mashable.com/article/tiktok-body-positivity-policies/

Here's a quote from the article:

"In an announcement on Wednesday, TikTok rolled out a number of new policies, including one that bans advertisements for fasting apps and weight loss supplements on its platform. The new rules also restrict ads and content that "promote a harmful or negative body image."

"These types of ads do not support the positive, inclusive, and safe experience we strive for on TikTok," the company said in its statement.

In addition to the outright ban on certain advertisements, TikTok will put "strong restrictions" on ads that make weight loss claims. The company will also limit ads promoting weight management products to users over the age of 18.

Ads also can't push a "negative body image or negative relationship with food" or they'll be banned."

What do you think? Do you see these kinds of ads? Do you think platforms (like Tik Tok, Twitter, Facebook) should be part of the process of regulating ads in this way? Why or why not?
