TikTok wants its users to know they are ‘more than their weight’. From May 2024, videos promoting weight loss treatments such as Ozempic will be restricted to the extent that some creators specialising in how to lose weight could risk a ban.
As of now, kids and teens can freely access all content relating to weight loss drugs and the hashtag #Ozempic has accumulated more than 1.4bn views. On Disney+, Oprah Winfrey’s tv special, Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution, features Maggie Ervie, a teenager who started taking semaglutide weight-loss drugs, aged 13. In January 2024, the American Academy of Pediatrics accepted the use of Wegovy (another semaglutide medicine) for adolescents, after the Food and Drug Administration approved it for people aged 12 and older. Is this type of medication the solution to global childhood obesity?
