Donna Air used on eating disorder ‘pro-ana’ websites

By Laura Cox for the Daily Mail. But Donna Air has now expressed her horror at discovering that images of her are being used on pro-anorexia websites to encourage girls with eating disorders to lose more weight. Celebrities including supermodel Kate Moss, and presenter Fearne Cotton have all featured on the sites, on which anorexics offer tips and motivation to their followers.

But those used as pin-ups are largely unaware that their pictures are being used. Miss Air is believed to be a UK size 4 and appears to have recently lost weight.

subsequent research, particularly work on cybersex, online dating and online gaming, recovery and pro-ana sites attract significant numbers of participants.

A grounded theory analysis of the functions of pro-ana social media accounts. Kate Happel Krautbauer. Anorexia nervosa is an extremely dangerous eating disorder whose etiology has recently been examined in relation to difficulties in emotion regulation. The phenomenon of pro-anorexia pro-ana on social media sites and websites has also received recent attention; however, the functions served by these pro-ana accounts are not well understood. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the possible functions of these accounts, particularly with regard to emotion regulation, through the use of a Grounded Theory analysis.

An emotion expression function was supported in this analysis, in addition to seven other functions: defining anorexia as a lifestyle, identity, or disease; discussion of anorexia as cyclically relapsing and recovering; defining what it means to be thin; defining the self as either fat or thin and thus worthless or good; motivating continued engagement in disordered eating; soliciting positive or negative attention from others; and the importance of images in the service of other functions.

Pinterest Bans Pro-Anorexia Content to Little Effect

Many of these groups have a loyal following and share tips on how to lose weight through severe calorie restriction and other habits. These habits can paradoxically be healthy for individuals who need to lose weight, but unhealthy for those with anorexia. Pro-ana groups can be a way for you to find a community of people living with anorexia. In your everyday life, it might be hard to find people who share similar feelings about their weight and body image.

You may find the relationships you make refreshing and even comforting. Instead, anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder where people control their weight and shape by restricting food intake.

Online “pro-ana” and “pro-mia” sites go so far as to actively encourage and model disordered eating behaviors associated with anorexia and bulimia.

TikTok’s “For You” page serves up clips from literally anybody — and users say they are being exposed to videos that glorify eating disorders. Scrolling through TikTok’s For You page one night, Lily was shown videos of people eating ice chips, sleeping all day to avoid eating, and fasting for days. The San Francisco-based teen had previously lived with an eating disorder, and she found this content triggering.

Some people chimed in with their own experiences of seeing proana content, while others spoke positively about seeing eating disorder recovery videos. Almost all of them agreed on one thing: content about eating disorders is all over TikTok. The app’s community guidelines ban videos that “promote eating habits that are likely to cause health issues”, specifying pro-anorexia content or that which encourages dangerous weight loss behaviours.

Yet videos that show people uncritically displaying or joking about these behaviours are rife. Users and experts say the platform’s visual nature and algorithm have created an environment that can be particularly harmful, particularly for those who have eating disorders. TikTok’s For You page is a limitless feed of videos recommended by an opaque algorithm based on the user’s interactions. What separates For You from Instagram or Twitter’s main feeds is that the algorithm will serve videos from anyone on the platform, and not just accounts followed by the user.

This means people can be surprised with videos about eating disorders even if they are deliberately not following anyone who regularly posts about such disorders, or about weight loss or diets. Anecdotal evidence from users says TikTok’s For You Page increasingly shows content about eating disorders after they watch just one video on the topic. This was Lily’s experience.

We’ve seen and heard enough about ‘pro-ana’ websites to have a fair idea of what they are. You may even have visited them out of curiosity or even as a ‘user’.

I’ll spare the detail because part of the problem is that in reporting on this subject, many publications go a few steps too far and actually give away the absurd, stupid and often dangerous tips and messages that these websites unashamedly dish out to vulnerable visitors. It seems completely illogical for a ‘journalist’ to report on the extreme dangers of these websites and the behaviours that they encourage, only to illustrate their piece with images taken directly from the ‘thinspiration’ galleries of those websites — but somehow, many do and see no problem in or consequence of doing that.

I have always worried that bringing attention to pro-ana websites could be detrimental and actually provoke more people to visit the sites. I do know from my own research as much as I absolutely loathe to look at these sites that there seems to be an increasing demand on whoever runs these sites to provide visitors with both female and male ‘thinspiration’.

The Royal College of Psychiatrists RC Psych is calling for urgent action to protect vulnerable young people from eating-disorder websites.

Once a secret illness, anorexia has reached the limelight on the Internet among adolescent girls hoping to eventually look like their favorite excessively thin celebrity idol.
