The first full trailer for the Barbie movie was released on April 4, and safe to say, it got the internet buzzing. The upcoming film from director Greta Gerwig looks really promising — but it wasn't just the trailer that got folks talking. We also got a slew of new Barbie posters, showing the various cast members with the iconic Barbie logo and text around them.

The posters do a great job of showing off Margot Robbie and crew — but what if you want to create your own Barbie poster? Twitter and Instagram have been filled with people putting photos of themselves on the now-iconic Barbie poster, and as it turns out, making a version with a picture of yourself is as simple as using a free Barbie poster generator (but sadly not quite as simple as it being its own native Barbie filter on Instagram).

In recent years, the U.K. and the EU have introduced new regulations and initiatives to safeguard young individuals from the potential harms associated with beauty filters. In response to these developments, TikTok has announced new rules designed to enhance protection for users aged 13 to 18.

According to a report from The Guardian, TikTok will soon implement restrictions on beauty filters for this age group. These restrictions will remove features that allow users to significantly alter their appearance, such as enlarging their eyes, plumping their lips, or changing their skin tone.

Conversely, more playful filters, such as those that add bunny ears or dog noses, will still be allowed.
