Instagram to restrict users under the age of 18 from seeing weight loss posts

Instagram is on a mission to sanitize the influencer market—and this could affect the categories of people who have access to certain posts. The Facebook-owned picture sharing service wants to start restricting people under the age of 18 from seeing posts that promote cosmetic surgery or weight loss. This move is part of the company’s new policy that targets a fast growing sect of influencer marketing, The Verge reports.
