Article content People post images and events on social media that show themselves and their families and friends at their very best. Image-fiddling includes whitening everyone’s teeth, sculpting off any extra weight, slimming and lengthening everyone’s limbs, perfecting facial skin, and enhancing hair, lips and breasts. Social media is also used to spread gossip and post humiliating photos of adolescents, a form of online bullying that has been blamed for suicide attempts. Earlier this year in the U.K., influencers were told not to add misleading filters to social media advertisements by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The ASA ruled that filters should not be used if they exaggerate the effect of a cosmetic or skincare item being sold.
