What triggers it

How to fix it
Remove specific weights or BMIs and body checks, keep descriptions non-graphic, and keep thumbnails free of injuries.
Good to know
Non-graphic discussion of these topics, and since Jan 2026 non-graphic dramatized content, can earn ads; child abuse and eating-disorder focus still can't get full ads. A razor image in a thumbnail is fine; a visible injury is not.
