I saw a victim of muhduh on News Edition. She looks different in 3 different photos. I don't know how the real victim looks like.
These people don’t have bills to pay if this is their concern.
This is getting insane. Facetune and filters ppl are creating all different versions of themselves and lying lol
As 20 something i try to limit my time on TikTok because i feel like it interferes with productivity & personal progress.
Not everyone looks good with stage make up.
This is not ok
Only if we could get a filter for the main stream media
Wtf is wrong with society…..
I wish all the face-time outlets would just disappear.
Never seen so much damage and it is accruing rather than improving.
Health
Murder
Theft
Road rage
Problem to me is 3 parts : violence/incivility is increasing and, it is laid out in grotesque detail and, people are in denial/depression/stressed (are out of their minds).
Just noticed filter makes skin lighter? Racists developed this filter?
????????????????????????
Standards for beauty???? Fu$#ed up.
My Chinese student told me that they can only see inspiring videos on TikTok unlike what TikTok allow other countries to see in their platform. China don't even have YouTube. They have their own browser that their citizen can access.
I tried the filter and it made me look like a drag Queen.
Nah
Natural is better you don't need a filter.
People will laugh at you for having full lips 💋 back in the days . Now 98% wants full lips.
Before filters, makeup, hair pieces, and lighting did the same thing. We've accepted that. Maybe we shouldn't have.
It just makes you look like you have on make up. It’s basically you, but with light cheek contour, highlight under the eyes, light blush, mascara and eye brows and lips filled in.
So “yes” you can look exactly like the filter, if you were to put on a full face of make up. This look is achievable IRL.
But if you’re not used to wearing make up, it can seem a bit dramatic looking to you. Also I’m sure young girls don’t know the why it looks different, they just feel like they’re aren’t pretty.
So happy my son doesn't like social media.
Bold Glamor is just digital makeup. Problem with it, stop or scale back actual makeup and embrace natural beauty.
Oh my Lord a lot of young people are going to have negative issues because of this blasted filter
Social Media is concerning
Scary times
Maybe they should look at what's happening in places like Syria and get over themselves 🙄
It’s not only younger women doing this!!!
I see people I. Their 50’s and 60’s using it, to the point, it’s cheating!! Stop using these filters, and get a real life!!!!!!
I can’t stand to look at people that use these filters permanently 💀💀💀🤡🤡
Social media is the worst thing to happen to humanity, it should be banned.
My handsome face would break the app, it's would just be overwhelmed trying to make my face look better!!!

Social media needs to be age restricted to 18+ and heavily regulated. It is causing the mental health crisis and all of these mass shootings. Social media has caused 25% of women from 13-25 to have an active suicide plan. It is truly destroying our society.
What they need to do is put a watermark on every image using a filter
This filer is for ugly pl, that’s why Katerin doesn’t look good.
My phone's selfies are automatically enhanced and it's really weird seeing that slightly better version of yourself tempting you to want to believe that's really how you look.
looks mostly like caked on makeup to me. So just cake on the makeup if you want to look more like the filter
Catfishing will go through the roof now!
Basically makeup for the internet…😂 I’d the filter should be illegal so should every other fake thing..makeup, hair, eyelashes etc. every false way is gross 😐
The filter made the men look worse 🤔😆
People are idiots!
I can only hope kids of the future will wake up and smash all of this so-called technology to pieces. It has certainly done them more harm than good…
AI is out of hand. & I heard they’re selling peoples likeness to the Meta ppl or whatever because the AI scans your face when you use it
That what Chinese want . It your down on your life. You can't have a life .
