Social media platforms are removing vital info on reproductive health (opens in new tab)

I just want social media to end already. The centralization of internet content into the hands of 3-4 gatekeepers has been terrible for quality and independent thought.

Its not "Abortion" itself being censored, rather gray market indian pharmaceutical companies. There is a huge market of third world pharma producers who create anything from modafinil to viagra and sell these prescription-only drugs on the open web. Their host countries do not prosecute, and the only reason the business works is that no country can check every single package that enters it. Anyone dedicated enough can find these marketplaces and order alot of useful medication, and in general i believe that drugs should be largely decriminalized and easily accessible, but that doesnt mean the potential customers themselves should be 'accessible' as well.

Putting any vital information on social media platforms was/is a poor idea.

Not, say, in the past few months?

> there has been a sharp increase in reports of social media platforms removing or suppressing abortion-related content, even when no law requires platforms to do so

What platforms? What abortion-related content?

Anything I see on social media requires a fact check on a "legitimate" site. I don't even trust the random historical facts that pop up which are inconsequential. It's a sad state that anyone is actually using important health information from these sources.

I find the phrase “reproductive health” a terrible euphemism.

Truth be told, the linked Bluesky post is direct in wording.

Weird brigading in here
