Due to misinformation being propagated about the operation, which is now illegal or prohibited in many parts of the U.S., YouTube will start removing videos about it. The decision, which the Google-owned video site announced on Thursday, comes roughly a month after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, the ruling that had safeguarded abortion rights in the nation for over 50 years.
California’s SAN BRUNO (AP) — Due to misinformation being propagated about the operation, which is now illegal or prohibited in many parts of the U.S., YouTube will start removing videos about it.
The decision, which the Google-owned video site announced on Thursday, comes roughly a month after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, the ruling that had safeguarded abortion rights in the nation for over 50 years.
YouTube claims that its crackdown would remove material that encourages risky at-home abortions as well as false information about the security of getting an abortion in a facility that is located in a state where it is still allowed.
According to YouTube, the removal of false abortion videos will intensify over the coming weeks.
The demand for technology companies to take action to prevent the use of their products and services to follow women seeking abortions or guide them in ways that could endanger their health has intensified as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
In light of the Supreme Court’s decision, Google declared earlier this month that it will automatically delete information on users who visit abortion clinics or other locations that could cause legal issues.
But some lawmakers have been pressuring Google to curtail the visibility of anti-abortion pregnancy centers in the outcomes of its powerful search engine, a move that 17 Republican attorneys general said on Thursday may subject the business to legal ramifications.
