facebook and instagram mass scrubbing abortion pill posts

[butters]

Facebook and Instagram, both owned by Meta, have begun mass-deleting posts that provide information about accessing abortion pills in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that established America's constitutional right to abortion.

Such content removals, first reported by Vice and the Associated Press, occurred immediately after the ruling was handed down. Much of the material in question reportedly contained information about how to obtain abortion pills by mail without breaking state laws.

The Associated Press tested how long it would take for one of its own reporters' posts to be scrubbed. "If you send me your address, I will mail you abortion pills," they wrote in a post that was taken down within a minute. Further, the account which published the post was reportedly put on a "warning" status for violating the platform's guidelines related to "guns, animals and other regulated goods."

When the reporter substituted the phrase "abortion pills" for "guns" and "weed," their post remained on the site, even though weed distribution is expressly prohibited by federal law and delivering the drug across state borders is likewise a federal crime. Abortion pills, meanwhile, can be legally distributed via mail by certified doctors, as the Associated Press noted.

Yeah cuz there is nowhere else to get them. Has to be one of the worst places on the internet that is known for fake ads and scams.
Desperation is not an excuse for stupid.

Desperation and stress actually make people stupid. Literally, measurably.

Good for them. Maybe the shit they get in the mail will help improve the gene pool by killing kids and parents both.

Show some humanity! Stupidity caused by stress isn't permanent, and especially not inheritable.

The usual sexist bullshit. No surprise.

Are you seriously asking how stupid people can be?

Buying drugs on Facebook is permanent stupid. Simply looking on there for drugs of any kind is dumb beyond comprehension. Zero sympathy. They deserve everything that happens to them and the world will be a better place.

Facebook is still garbage.

I put a gaming controller up on Facebook. Two of the 3 responses were scammers. If someone is dumb enough to buy meds from FB, they are certainly too dumb to have a kid.

it's not a choice i'd make for sure

there's this


but the real point behind the posts is that buying guns and drugs on fb is against their rules, too, but those posts DIDN'T get scrubbed. Also, a lot of the scrubbed posts weren't about 'buy from me' but information about the pills and where they may be purchased/if they're suitable for the pregnancy and so on.
