These are some of the censorship cases reported through our ‘Report an Incident’ tool documenting digital censorship. They highlight takedowns, suspensions, and shadowbanning on platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and others.
This is not an exhaustive list, but a selection of recent incidents that illustrate how abortion and reproductive rights information, civil rights issues, and more are being suppressed around the world.
Facebook Takedown: Justthepill
Facebook suspended Just The Pill, a telehealth abortion provider that has delivered over 10,000 abortions since 2020 and supports hundreds of patients each month. Removing trusted healthcare providers from digital platforms cuts off access to critical information and care, especially for people in underserved areas.
