TikTokers call for ‘kned filter’ ban

TikTok users told the BBC that they believed a viral tool that would make people look overweight should be banned in the platform.

The tool of artificial intelligence (AI) is known as the “kned filter”, taking a picture of a person and editing his face to seem to be weight.

Many people jokes on the platform jokingly show how different they look – although others say it is a kind of “shy body” and should not be allowed.

Experts have also warned that the filter could be online “toxic food culture” and probably involved in food breakdowns.

TikTok has not responded to his request.

Sadi, who has 66,000 followers in TikTok, is one of the ones who calls for a ban on the “Mawand” filter.

“It was like girls to say, ‘Oh, I’ve won because I’m weak and whether it’s the worst thing that’s ever obese,” said Bristol, a 29-year-old Bristol.

He said the woman was called to delete TikTok from their mobile phones because the trend has made them feel bad.

“I just don’t feel that people are making fun of their bodies just to open an app,” he said.

Dr. Emma Becket, a nutritionist, told the BBC that she felt the trend “a big step back” in weight misrepresentation.

“It’s just the same old old and false truptures that say that people with big bodies are lazy and deficiency, and something you’re desperate to avoid,” he said.

He warned that he could have a broad social impact.

“Fear of weight gain is involved in food damage and dissatisfaction, the fuel of the culture of toxic foods, makes people tempted on food and exercise in an unhealthy manner and open the cheating of cheating on products and food.

“and puts pressure on everyone to suit the beauty and health standards, not to find that it has the best effect on his body – which harms everyone, both in physical and mental health.

Filters – which uses AI to modify the person’s appearance – are common in TikTok.

Many are harmless – for example, one of the most common trends makes a person made of Lego.

They are often designed by people who have nothing to do with TikTok – as it seems to be in a new “knive filter”

Some famous videos using the filter he liked tens of thousands of times.

For the purpose of this article, I used the filter on myself.

I felt unreliable.

As a person who is very positive and has fought with their own images in the past, he couldn’t be more than that I personally use social media and I wasn’t happy that TikTok was pushed first.

This filter appeared on TikTok’s “Bo To” page, although I have not contacted any content or health content.

After watching the video and reading the comments that was – how to work on TikTok’s algorithm, it means that it began to propose similar videos from others who use the filter, and even another person who can thinner AI.

Thankfully, he also began to show the creators who criticized the movement, some of whom have spoken to them for this.

AI’s images and filters have become normal in TikTok and quickly admitted to be used for fun – just like some gen-z and the thousand may remember Snapchat filters.

But filters such as these, although they may appear pleasant, can cause great damage to someone’s mental health and encourage them to compare themselves not only with others, but also unrealistic versions.

The BBC has spoken to a number of TikTok users who say they are uncomfortable with the filter.

Nina, who lives in northern Wales, said she felt that food was given to “red” that spreads online and links people’s appearance with their own values.

“This is a toxic view that I thought we would get away from it,” he said.

“If a filter is clearly aggressive, it must be removed,” he said.

Emma, ​​who lives in Air, agreed.

“My first thinking when I saw the knife filter was how harmful it would be.

“People basically said they were nasty because they were ‘not’ and like a woman who was originally similar to “after” on this filter, it was sad for me.

Nina said she was happy to see people criticizing the trend, which she called “immorality and insensitivity.

“We must raise each other, not ashamed of each other’s bodies,” he said.

Sadi agreed not to be allowed – although he felt that other things may be able to do TikTok.

“It may have an alarm,” he said.

“If there is a theme of embarrassing the body or a disorder of food or something like that, I think there should be a way to lay the flag that if these people want to spread, they will post, but they are pushed for a wider audience.
