Meta Must Stop Silencing Reproductive Health Information
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has filed a public comment with Meta's Oversight Board challenging the company's removal of posts about prescription medication, abortion care, and personal medical experiences on Instagram and other Meta platforms.
Why this matters: People sharing their own health experiences are losing accounts for it. That is not a moderation edge case. Meta's platforms are where a lot of people, especially in under-resourced areas, find and share medical information. When the algorithm cannot tell the difference between a personal pregnancy story and prohibited content, real harm follows. EFF is on record now. The Oversight Board should treat this as a concrete accountability moment, not an abstract content policy debate.
