San Francisco - Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram is adding resources for people affected by eating disorders to its social platform.
If users search for hashtags or content that's potentially related to disordered eating, the company will guide that user to resources or help lines provided by the National Eating Disorders Association (or NEDA) in the US, as well as others in the UK, Australia and Canada.
This article contains some discussion of eating disorders. If you're struggling with one, you can contact NEDA's support line, and if you're concerned about a family member, resources are available from the Families Empowered and Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders organization, reports The Verge.
