The connection between body image and social networks

http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/health/147246635.html
With all the different networking sites, many people are able to post photos of themselves. There is a craze of women posting pictures of themselves where you can see their ribcages and pictures of very skinny models like Kate Moss. When other girls see these pictures it is like a competition, they say, "I can get skinnier than that." There is no way to avoid these pictures from going up on sites like facebook because these users have a right to post these pictures under the first amendment. It will be interesting to see if any rules come out of this story to prevent more competition.
