TikTok has addressed the harmful trend 'legging legs' by preventing users from searching for such content, citing contact information for eating disorder helplines and other resources. The trend, similar to the 'thigh gap' trend, sets unrealistic and potentially harmful expectations of thinness for women, reflecting the subjectivity of beauty and the influence of social media on body image standards.
