How does Twitter deal with tweets that encourage eating disorders?

Twitter has a policy against content that promotes or glorifies self-harm or suicide, which includes tweets that encourage or normalize eating disorders. If Twitter determines that a tweet violates this policy, they may take a number of actions, including:

* Labeling the tweet as potentially harmful or sensitive
* Reducing the visibility of the tweet on the platform
* Preventing the tweet from being recommended or amplified
* Requiring the user to remove the tweet
* Suspending the user's account

Twitter uses a combination of human review and automated technology to enforce this policy. When they receive a report about a potentially violating tweet, they will assess the content and determine if it violates their policy. They may also take into account whether the tweet is intended to promote or glorify self-harm or suicide, and whether it has the potential to cause harm to the user or others.

If you see a tweet that you believe may violate Twitter's policy against self-harm or suicide, you can report it to Twitter for review. It's important to note that Twitter's policy applies to tweets that promote or glorify self-harm or suicide, and not to tweets that provide support or resources for individuals who are struggling with these issues. If you or someone you know is in need of support, there are many resources available, including the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) Helpline, which can be reached at 1-800-931-2237.
