However, many condemned Kardashian’s rapid weight loss as unhealthy and raised concern about the impact it will have on her enormous following.
kim k losing 16 pounds in 3 weeks to fit into her met gala dress (for literally 10 minutes,,) is the unnecessary diet culture-y bullshit of my nightmares

losing 16 lbs in three weeks isn’t commitment to fashion; it’s disordered eating
— Madalaina D'Angelo (@madalainaD) May 3, 2022
this take is gross, stop sensationalizing eating disorders and starve diets. losing 16 lbs in 3 weeks is not a healthy message for women or young girls, and to top it off the assignment was the gilded age. y’all are killing me.

Other individuals labelled Kardashian’s choice to wear Monroe’s dress as disrespectful.
Kim K wearing Marilyn Monroe’s dress is so disrespectful and disgusting why can’t they let that poor woman rest in peace

Yep. The magic of MM was that she was confident in her body;she had sex appeal & was adored even tho she wasn’t the standard ‘size 0’, had lovely lady lumps. Seeing Kim K wear it, w. her fake ass & boobs, cheapens the magic of Marilyn’s legacy as a woman & the dress itself. https://t.co/mQr5XXJLPN

Kardashian also faced reproval for misrepresenting the year’s ‘Gilded Glamour’ theme.
I’d love to tweet about how Kim k’s lack of period appropriate undergarments made that $5M dress look like forever 21 but instead I’m spiraling about the fact that roe v wade is being overturned and millions of Americans are going to be forced to give birth to unwanted fetuses!!

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.
Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Greenland, Denmark assert Arctic island not for sale, emphasizing cooperation with the US on their own terms.
Greenland and Denmark have used high-level talks in Washington, D.C. to firmly restate that the Arctic island is not for sale, pushing back against long-standing US interest in the strategically vital territory.
Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.
Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
