TikTok Takedown: @AidAccess + @ma_hotline_es (simultaneous)

In August 5 2025, TikTok suspended @AidAccess and @ma_hotline_es simultaneously—in less than five minutes. Both accounts provided life-saving, confidential information on abortion pills and reproductive care, with more than 10,000 followers each. Their takedown is another example of abortion content being disproportionately targeted and silenced despite no violations.

Instagram Takedown: @carafem

Instagram and Threads have suspended @carafem—a licensed abortion provider offering FDA-approved abortion pills by mail in 20 U.S. states. The suspension followed a post in collaboration with @kaydenxofficial, a trans man receiving abortion care, highlighting inclusive, gender-affirming healthcare. While the video was not removed, the account remains suspended—another example of abortion and LGBTQ+ content being disproportionately targeted and silenced despite no violations.
