#Perfection
Research shows:
- Algorithms that keep users scrolling, verification, likes and reactions are contributing to social anxiety and impacting mental health and brain development
- Filters, AI and editing apps are narrowly redefining beauty standards; hindering self-image, contributing to social comparisons, and leading to an uptick in filter-inspired plastic surgeries and dysmorphic disorders
A hope to educate and inspire positive change:
- For years the media, lawmakers, parents and the platforms themselves have spotlighted harmful content and its effects but more needs to be done to address this
- To increase algorithm awareness; encourage digital detoxes, and boundaries to protect mental health
- To dismantle toxic beauty standards by promoting more authenticity and celebrating diverse beauty
