SAN FRANCISCO — YouTube on Thursday said it tweaked its recommendation system in the United States to prevent teens from bingeing on videos idealizing certain body types.

Google-run YouTube has responded by ramping up safety measures and parental controls on the globally popular platform. YouTube now limits repeated recommendations of such videos to teens in the United States and will extend the change to other countries over the coming year, according to Beser. YouTube community guidelines already ban content involving eating disorders, hate speech, and harassment.
