YouTube will now remove content offering instructions on unsafe abortion practices as well as false claims about the safety of abortions. Such content violates the platform’s medical misinformation policies & the company says they will start taking down those videos today and ramp up their efforts in the coming weeks.
YouTube is also taking the step after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade, which was a ruling that ensures the right to abortion in the country. Several states in the country immediately banned abortions after the course decision in late June this year.
