(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\/6\/28\/23186708\/facebook-instagram-abortion-pills-posts-ban-mifepristone-misoprostol<\/a> Facebook and Instagram are removing posts from users that offer help accessing abortion pills, saying they violate a policy around pharmaceuticals. <\/p>\n Following the Supreme Court\u2019s overturning of Roe v. Wade <\/em>on Friday,<\/em> social media users have shared posts offering to mail abortion pills to people whose access to abortion has been stripped away or will be soon. <\/p>\n But users are finding their offers quickly removed or restricted, as reported by Motherboard<\/em><\/a> and the Associated Press<\/em><\/a>. A test Facebook post by an AP<\/em> reporter offering to mail abortion pills was removed within one minute. A test by a Verge <\/em>reporter yielded similar results, with a post offering abortion pills being flagged within two minutes.<\/p>\n The sale, gifting, and transfer of firearms and marijuana are also prohibited under the same section of Meta\u2019s restricted goods policy<\/a> that bans pharmaceuticals. Yet test posts by the AP<\/em> that offered to mail guns and weed were not removed; a similar test by The Verge <\/em>offering to mail cannabis wasn\u2019t immediately removed by Facebook.<\/p>\n In response to reporting, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone tweeted on Monday<\/a> that \u201ccontent that attempts to buy, sell, trade, gift, request or donate pharmaceuticals is not allowed.\u201d Stone says that posts containing information on the \u201caffordability and accessibility of prescription medication\u201d is allowed and that the company was correcting instances of \u201cincorrect enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n Meta did not respond immediately to questions seeking clarification on how the policy is enforced and what might explain the discrepancies. <\/p>\n In the days following the reversal of Roe, <\/em>social media has become a key tool in <\/em>spreading word of available abortion resources. <\/p>\n But moderation decisions by social media companies have caused some major resource providers to lose access to their platforms right as the need has become especially acute. Abortion Finder, a site that allows patients to search for care providers, was briefly suspended from Instagram on Sunday, with Meta citing its restricted goods policy, according to NBC News<\/a>. The account has since been restored. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
