Shadowbanning Shenanigans: How Social Media Silences Abortion and Reproductive Health Content
In the digital age, shadowbanning is like the ultimate game of hide-and-seek, where creators talk about sex and abortion, and social media simply pretends not to see them. Our Stop Censoring Abortion campaign uncovers how platforms ‘accidentally’ suppress critical conversations, leaving users wondering if their posts fell into a black hole.
Hot Take:
Ah, social media: where cat videos go viral, and important discussions about reproductive health are sent to the digital dungeon. Who knew discussing abortion could be more taboo than a teenager’s TikTok dance challenge? Shadowbanning seems to be the social media mafia’s way of saying, “Nice account you got there, shame if it stopped existing.”
Key Points:
- Shadowbanning is the silent suppression of certain content or creators on social media.
- Reproductive health discussions, including abortion, are frequently shadowbanned.
- Platforms often deny shadowbanning, attributing reduced reach to algorithmic ‘bugs.’
- Social media is crucial for accessing sexual and reproductive health information.
- Censorship of these topics threatens freedom of information and expression.
