TikTok prohibits the promotion of skin "tanning" and guides users to change their behaviors that may lead to skin diseases and tanning

Source: Global Times [Global Times comprehensive report] TikTok, a short video social platform, will prohibit the promotion of "tanning" skin to guide users to change their tanning behavior that may lead to skin diseases.
According to the British Guardian on the 1st, the once mainstream "whitening" aesthetic has gradually become a thing of the past, and many people have begun to "take blackness as beauty" and suntan their skin.
But in the opinion of experts, this trend will increase the risk of people suffering from melanoma and other diseases.
In September this year, Jorgina Lang, a medical expert at the Australian Melanoma Research Institute, publicly criticized the "tanning" video on TikTok.
At that time, the video with the label of "tanning challenge" was viewed by as many as 200 million people.
Lang teamed up with Kate Campbell, a swimmer who had suffered from melanoma, to warn about such videos, urging the media and celebrities not to mislead people by "darkening" their skin.
The Guardian said that in order to remind people not to blindly "tanning", TikTok decided to promote the "anti tanning" initiative in the medical field, delete the "tanning challenge" label on its platform, add warning bullet boxes on "tanning" and other content, and encourage users to share their videos of sunburn and peeling.
