(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/7\/21\/23273200\/youtube-alternative-abortion-medical-misinformation-policy-crackdown<\/a> YouTube says it will begin removing \u201cinstructions for unsafe abortion methods\u201d or content that \u201cpromotes false claims about abortion safety.\u201d The company made the announcement<\/a> on Twitter, saying it falls under its medical misinformation policy. It\u2019s also adding an information panel to related videos that will offer health information about abortion from the National Library of Medicine, similar to what<\/a> it\u2019s done for vaccines and some other topics.<\/p>\n \u201cStarting today and ramping up over the next few weeks, we will remove content that provides instructions for unsafe abortion methods or promotes false claims about abortion safety under our medical misinformation policies,\u201d tweeted the official YouTube account. \u201cLike all of our policies on health\/medical topics, we rely on published guidance from health authorities. We prioritize connecting people to content from authoritative sources on health topics, and we continuously review our policies & products as real world events unfold.\u201d It linked to an explanation of its misinformation policies<\/a> that proscribed \u201cpromotion of alternative abortion methods in place of chemical or surgical methods deemed safe by health authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n Several lawmakers have asked YouTube parent Google to restrict Search and Maps results that direct people seeking abortions<\/a> to \u201cfake\u201d clinics where doctors attempt to dissuade them. However, today\u2019s decision seems more likely to address videos promoting self-managed abortions<\/a> with herbs like mugwort and pennyroyal<\/a>, a practice many herbalists have warned is unreliable and can cause serious health problems. (By contrast, abortion via mifepristone or misoprostol pills is widely considered safe and reliable<\/a>, even when taken outside a doctor\u2019s supervision.) The videos have been primarily reported on TikTok \u2014 where some have become extremely popular.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
