It's important to point out what's real and fake. And this is more applicable when it comes to internet of things
It's wonderful to know this. There had been rumbles about it.. hope people in India can also follow suit. Thanks for sharing this
I read about this too, it would be interesting how it pans out.
It’s ironic that I stumbled upon this piece of information on a German model’s story. I immediately wanted to fact check it. It’s progressive, it’s awesome, but is it really true? How are they going to check a tonne of pictures being posted on social media?
So, the law applies only to influencers and big companies, across all the social media giants - Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and TikTok. Which means, commoners could basically get away with adding a filter or touching up here and there. That’s okay, if you consider the amount of followers influencers have, and the number of people who constantly get influenced by their “perfect bodies” and “flawless faces”.
The law requires clarification of not only the digital manipulation on the photos, but also, physical alterations that may have been made, failing which could result you ending up in jail or being fined.
Honestly, I do follow pretty people on Instagram. Models, celebs, influencers. I do lead a fairly healthy lifestyle and don’t hate the way I look, but I won’t deny that I don’t stop at a photo once in a while and compare myself to it. Not everyone is as kind to themselves.
I came across a post which showed how Kim Kardashian had edited a video of her for a Skims campaign, and I was surprised, but was I really surprised?
You can blame the pandemic and the video calling culture as people now want surgeries as it’s affecting the way people look at themselves.
The law is something I’m one hundred percent rooting for. Something that should be imbibed in other countries as well. We need to be kinder to ourselves, in the way our bodies are shaped, and the way we look. Our bodies are working hard to help us navigate through this experience called life.
Love it, let it live, and stop the comparison. I also hope that people who edit their pictures for whatever reasons, break through this compulsion of being perfect, and that we come together to know and understand that we’re all different and we’re all beautiful.
