Pinterest Bans Weight-Loss Ads

This is a huge stop for a social platform. Pinterest has just put a ban on weight-loss advertisements.

This goes for any ad that mentions weight loss, BMI, or even shows before-and-after images. According to Aya Kanai, the head of content at Pinterest, the ban is to make Pinterest “even more positive and inclusive.”

This ban only goes toward weight-loss advertisements that serve as “paid advertisements.”
