Facebook, TikTok and even LinkedIn are censoring abortion content even when it's just medical information, rights groups say
Electronic Frontier Foundation has collected close to 100 examples of content takedowns submitted by social media users that don't violate any policy.

Obviously, then once we had a better understanding of the trends, we hope to call attention to the issue, demand accountability and increase transparency in the moderation practices and ultimately, help stop the platforms from censoring this essential, sometimes life-saving information,” said Jennifer Pinsof, staff attorney at EFF. “We allow posts and ads promoting health care services like abortion, as well as discussion and debate around them, as long as they follow our policies — and we give people the opportunity to appeal decisions if they think we’ve got it wrong,” the company said in a statement.
