'Posts showing cooperation for abortion' have been removed on Facebook and Instagram



In the United States, the 'law to regulate abortion of women' has been unconstitutional based on the

Roe v. Wade ruling . However, on June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court ruled to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, and about half of the states in the United States have begun to regulate abortion. Under this circumstance, it has been reported on Facebook and Instagram that 'posts suggesting cooperation for abortion' will be deleted.

In the United States, many states have embarked on abortion regulations as the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade ruling. Along with this, a lot of people have been involved in the turmoil, such as the fact that the physiology management app that appeals to protect privacy has attracted a lot of attention , and the trust in the Supreme Court has dropped to a very low level .

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that 'posts on the delivery of oral abortion drugs' have been deleted on Facebook and Instagram. The Associated Press's screenshots from Instagram users show that the 'post to ask people in states where abortion is banned to buy an oral abortion drug on their behalf' has been removed. It was in the picture. The Associated Press also reported, 'As a result of posting to Facebook,'If you tell me your address, I will send you an oral abortion drug,' the post was deleted in about 1 minute.'

Following the above coverage, tech media Motherboard posted a sentence containing the phrase 'Abortion medications can be sent' to verify Facebook's response. As a result, he received a notification that he violated the community regulations regarding drug transactions and was asked to choose whether or not to 'agree' with Facebook's response. The post has been deleted as a result of Motherboard selecting 'I don't agree'.



Motherboard also posted sentences containing phrases such as 'painkillers can be sent', 'tablets' and 'contraception'. These posts should fall under the 'Posts on Drug Trading and Gifts' prohibited by the 'Community Regulations on Drug Trading' as well as the Posts on Oral Abortion Drugs, but the posts continued to display without problems. ..

When I posted a sentence containing the phrase 'I can send an abortion drug' again, I heard that I received the same notification as the first test. When Motherboard selected 'Agree', the post was not deleted on the spot, but after 3 days a similar notification was displayed again, and as a result of selecting 'Agree', the account was frozen for 24 hours.



Technology-related media Engadget also posted a sentence containing the phrase 'I can send an abortion drug,' and reported that it received a notification that it violated community regulations, similar to Motherboard. At this time, as a result of Engadget selecting 'Agree' about Facebook's correspondence, the post was deleted. On the other hand, posts containing phrases such as 'sell cigarettes', 'can send cigarettes', 'can send antidepressants', 'can send painkillers', and 'abortion is part of health care' are fine. It was open to the public.



After the above report, a Meta spokeswoman tweeted, 'I accidentally deleted some posts. We are currently fixing these issues.'




In addition, Meta has announced that it will pay transportation expenses to employees who wish to have an abortion outside the state.
