Instagram and Facebook Blocked and Hid Abortion Pill Providers’ Posts

Published On Jan 23, 2025, 9:38 PM

Meta's platforms, Instagram and Facebook, have recently come under fire for temporarily suspending and restricting access to posts and accounts related to abortion pill providers. This move appears to be connected to Meta's changes in their content moderation policies, which were initiated earlier this month, leading to concerns over whether these changes would amplify censorship issues or misinformation on their platforms. Although Meta officials clarified that the actions taken against abortion-related posts were not linked to the new speech policies, the timing raises significant questions about the company's enforcement strategies and policies.
