Green Tick – The regulation and Systematization of Social Media and Digital App Contents Related to Health, Diet and Sports

This project tackles the absence of clear guidelines for users, content creators, and app developers, aiming to ensure the production of reliable and safe digital content. It sets criteria to evaluate social media and digital applications for trustworthy information and visuals. A comprehensive report will highlight both exemplary and subpar cases, with successful accounts earning a “Green Tick” label, guiding users to credible sources. Ultimately, the project aims to boost awareness and engagement in physical activities for a healthier lifestyle.
