Life Censored by Big Tech

Facebook and Politifact “fact check” Alliance Defending Freedom and SBA Pro-Life America’s posts about abortion pill complications, rating them “partly false,” despite the fact that the Politifact affirms the statistic in its own article:

Researchers reported that about 20% of the women who took medication for their abortions experienced what the paper described as adverse events or complications. 

Yelp re-evaluated thousands of search results for pro-life pregnancy centers and successfully censored 470 of them and flagged them for being “too pro-life.” Google followed by placing Planned Parenthood at the top of its search results for anything related to abortion.

Google shadowbanned Life Issues Institute’s online educational campaign in May, and later, after the release of the Dobbs decision, prohibited their videos outright, labeling them “speculative and experimental medical treatment, cell therapies and gene therapies.” The videos (1, 2) share scientific facts (from doctors) and testimony (from those affected by abortion, including former abortionists, abortion survivors, and parents).

TikTok permanently banned SBA Pro-Life America’s account without giving warning, vaguely citing “Community Guidelines.” The ban occurred shortly after the Supreme Court released its decision in the Dobbs case and the account remained inaccessible throughout the day. The account was later reinstated, again without explanation.

Google banned all of Live Action & Heartbeat International’s Abortion Pill Reversal ads, as well as all of Live Action’s ads – including those for Baby Olivia, which depict the growth of a baby in the womb with highly detailed, scientifically accurate images. Google cited “unreliable claims” as their reasoning.

Domain hosting service GoDaddy dropped Texas Right to Life’s website about the Texas Heartbeat Act following an online harassment campaign from pro-choice activists. GoDaddy’s reasoning, according to the email notification they sent to Texas Right to Life, was that the organization had violated GoDaddy’s terms of service. They did not specify which terms were violated or how.

Twitter restricts David Daleiden’s account, marking it “sensitive.” The label was only removed after he appealed to Twitter.

Ann and Phelim, producers of the movie “Gosnell” and hosts of The Ann and Phelim Scoop podcast, are suspended from Twitter for “platform manipulation and spam.” The account was reinstated after they appealed the suspension

The Dispatch retracted its “partly false” rating on SBA’s ads on October 16th.

But Facebook did not remove the label until October 29th, following multiple SBA inquiries.

Facebook bans two of SBA’s ads exposing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s support for late-term abortion in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, based on a factually incorrect third-party “fact check” from The Dispatch.

Facebook restricts Choose Life Marketing’s account citing a violation of Facebook’s advertising policies. Choose Life could find no policies that they had violated and submitted a request to have their account reviewed. They received a notice, with no explanation for the restrictions, saying that it could take weeks for them to receive an answer.

Facebook censors LifeNews, labeling as “False Information” their tweet about Kamala Harris’ persecution of pro-lifers who exposed Planned Parenthood selling baby parts, and “significantly reducing” the number of people who see the post.

YouTube deletes one of Live Action’s abortion procedures videos, which had over 1.8 million views and had been live since 2016. YouTube claimed the video, which includes medically accurate animations of abortion & is narrated by a former abortionist, violated “multiple community guidelines.” The video was reinstated after Live Action appealed, but YouTube did not explain why it was initially taken down, claiming it was “a mistake by our automated systems.”

TikTok temporarily bans Live Action for “multiple community guidelines violations.” Live Action’s posts on the platform shared positive stories of moms choosing life for their babies.
