Over A Year After New Content Policies, ?Self-Harm Social Media? Still Thrives

About a year and a half ago, just in time for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week,?Tumblr took a hard stance?against blogs on its network that encouraged "self harm." This includes those that glorify or?promote anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders, the company said, as well as those focused on self-mutilation and suicide. The company also said it would revise its Content Policy, and start showing Public Service Announcements (PSAs) when users search for certain keywords on the site, like "thinspo" or "proana," for example.?Other services like Pinterest and Instagram soon followed suit.
