Norway is taking a stance against 'Instagram face', but will these new laws really promote change? instagram norway instagramface bodypositivity
Norway has passed a new law which will make it illegal for influencers and celebrities to photoshop images of themselves on social media platforms, unless explicitly stating that they have done so. The move comes as part of the Ministry of Family and Children’s desire to “reduce body pressure,’ and its contribution to low self worth among young people. According to a report from Vice, the law will crack down on any alterations made to the face and body, including the use of filters.
ADVERTISEMENT The potential for confusion among young people increases when you consider the two prominent, yet polar opposite narratives currently running parallel to each other on social media. One promotes body positivity: calling for the visibility of all body shapes, sizes and perceived physical ‘flaws.’ The other regurgitates a very specific body type and face; unnatainable for the majority of women and young girls.
