Smooth faces, filters, distorted body shapes, altered skin color and texture will be accompanied by a specific <b>warning<\/b> that will make the audience aware of what they are really looking at.<br \/>\nRationally, as we all know, what is proposed on social networks with the countless images to which we are exposed every day, is a <b>fictitious stereotype<\/b> of the body, but emotionally I challenge anyone to never have thought, at least once, \u201cI would like to be like her\/him\/*, why am I not like that?\u201d. It\u2019s precisely for this reason that Norway decided to take measures to limit social pressure inherent in physical appearance and to <b>protect the most sensitive subjects<\/b>, including adolescents and young people, who are subjected to images with non-existent standards of beauty every day.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113442 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waitfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_9096.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1284\" height=\"835\" data-id=\"113442\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Blocking the negative influence of advertising images is difficult, but this order is a <b>first step<\/b> to be able to meet the most fragile people, already put to test in a difficult period like this.<br \/>\nLooking at the data, it is no coincidence that, globally, suicides, suicide attempts and psychiatric hospitalizations linked to low self-esteem, dysmorphophobia, eating disorders and self-harm in adolescence are increasing. It\u2019s obvious that not all the blame can be attributed to social networks, but certainly these affect not indifferently. There is no figure who teaches children how to use these double-edged weapons, which if on the one hand they are a very powerful means of expression, communication, information and research, on the other hand they can become an instrument of self-destruction. In my opinion, now more than ever, finding themselves lost in a condition of social isolation, young people need a guide, and therefore chapeau Norway who is acting, in a small part, to stem a current problem in a period like this. The hope, state the Country, is that companies and influencers will find themselves discouraged from publishing retouched photos, thus choosing to show photos without editing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113443 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waitfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_9095.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1284\" height=\"844\" data-id=\"113443\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, in my opinion, <strong>this provision<\/strong>, unfortunately,<strong> is aimed exclusively at images with advertising content<\/strong> for commercial purposes (the only ones that can be regulated). Putting such a stringent limit on the private sector would certainly lead to an advantage towards the most sensitive people, but, at the same time, personal and creative freedom to do what you want with your body would be limited. Would you be in favor of extending this rule also in the private sector?<\/p>\n<p>As you can guess, the most affected by this provision are influencers and companies, but, paradoxically, from what one might believe, it seems that Norwegian influencers proved to be happy with the arrangement taken by their Country. Country I hope will be an example and be the driving force for all the others.<\/p>\n<p>And what do you think about it?
