YouTube announced Thursday that it will remove a video from its platform if it “provides instructions for unsafe abortion methods or promotes false claims about abortion safety.” Social media platforms have been deluged with disinformation about abortion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. YouTube said it will be relying on medical guidance from health authorities and will also include a panel with links to such information with abortion-related videos and search results.
