You Tube To Remove Videos Regarding False Abortion Procedures

YouTube will start eliminating fake abortion videos as a response to the misinformation being propagated about the practice, which is either illegal or restricted in many parts of the US. The decision made public recently comes roughly a month after the US Supreme Court overturned 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 on 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. However, some members of Congress have been pressuring Google to restrict the visibility of anti-abortion pregnancy centres in the results of its powerful search engine, a move that 17 Republican attorneys general cautioned on Thursday may subject the corporation to legal ramifications.
