Anorexic women are the target for ''skinny porn'' websites
Pro-anorexia websites are using pictures from vulnerable anorexic women. These women posted their pictures to show them to other people for ''thin-spiration'', but actually porn websites pay pro-ana websites to use these pictures. The porn websites are busy with signing up new clients, advertising images, movies, and even host anorexia porn on websites such as YouTube and anorexia pornography forums. These forums are there to make vulnerable women to explicit photographs of themselves. Many people against pro-ana feel that this is something for internet service providers to take care of. They think that internet providers are able to remove the most hardcore materials.

Comment:
I think internet providers could be a solution to remove a lot, but that doesn't mean that every problem has been solved. These vulnerable women really need someone that keeps an eye on them, and make sure that they won't do what people on the internet tell them to do. I also think that pro-ana websites should be sued when they earn money with people's pictures, because it is unfair that they earn money with these pictures, while the people who took them don't even know that their pictures have been sold. I hope governments can also do something about this, because in fact this is all about exploitation of vulnerable people.

I absolutely agree with Cherady. The people who made these pictures are very vulernerable, and a bit ignorant. They should get proper counceling to help them deal with their problems instead of straving themselves. I hope that the government can pass a sort of law which can prevent the publication of such media.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is actually really sick.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSomehow it would be the same as luring a mental patient into doing this ( since anorexia is a mental disorder and all)
Bbrrrr... Really bad.
