TikTok has briefly suspended the account of Hey Jane, a prominent telemedicine abortion service, four times without explanation. Instagram has suspended Mayday Health, a nonprofit that provides information about abortion pill access, without explanation as well. And the search engine Bing has erroneously flagged the website for Aid Access, a major seller of abortion pills online, as unsafe.
Seems like someone is paying a lot of money to suppress access to information. Anyone have insight as to how to find out who specifically?Doesn’t necessarily need to be anyone with a lot of money, just a lot of people mass reporting things combined with automated systems.
That’s a good point. The fact that the accounts get restored means they passed human evaluation. Systems likely block the account by default, pending review.
I don’t know, but it sure seems like this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
FYI I tried to use piped, but got blocked asking me to sign in… I really wish we had a better YouTube alternative.
I’ve been getting this lately too. I just end up downloading the video with yt-dlp to watch it.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Unfortunately, its their platform and their rules… And not even rules… Their whims.
I dont know why people expect corporations to support anything other than profit. You want free speech? For-profit, non-free platforms aren’t the place to do it
Abortion groups? 🤔
Right? Do they mean anti-abortion groups, anti-natalists, or pro-choice people? What is an abortion group?
Pro-choice and birth control groups.

Ah thank you. It paywalled me so there was no context.
Yeah. It paywalled me too.
Some one posted the archive. That’s how I read it, if you are still interested.

Honestly amazes me that this isnt common knowledge.
Why would it be?
Silence
Imagine being part of an organization advocating for the murder of babies and complaining about social media suppression. Such ethical high ground lulz
