Caitlin Tiffany, a staff writer at The Atlantic specializing in internet culture, and Dr. Jennie Wang-Hall, a psychologist focused on eating disorders, explore the disturbing rise of pro-eating disorder communities on social media, particularly on X. They discuss how minimal content moderation allows harmful narratives to thrive, impacting adolescents. Topics include the normalization of toxic behaviors through algorithm-driven feeds, the need for better support systems for those affected, and the complexities of addressing body image issues in an increasingly digital world.
