“…Niezależnie od polityki serwisów umożliwiającej zgłaszanie do usunięcia treści promujących zachowania zagrażające zdrowiu lub życiu usuwanie materiałów o charakterze pro-ana pozostaje kwestią kontrowersyjną. 30 Opracowanie algorytmów nadzorowania treści udostępnianej w mediach społecznościowych może przyczynić się do lepszego zrozumienia zjawiska anoreksji oraz tworzenia się grup wsparcia.
