Illegal Photoshopping?
ByBarb Dybwad spots some strange news:
File this squarely under “would never happen in the U.S.” but French lawmakers have a fascinating new idea to combat body image issues: require disclaimers on Photoshopped or otherwise “enhanced” images of people. [...] The language will reportedly be: “Retouched photograph aimed at changing a person’s physical appearance.” The proposed law comes from French MP Valerie Boyer and is inspired by a recent report she authored on anorexia and bulemia.
More than 50 politicians have already signed on, and fines could run up to half the cost of the ad campaign.
