Online video giant Youtube has now announced a new plan to crack down on what it considers to be ‘abortion disinformation.’

As CNBC reports:

“Starting today and ramping up over the next few weeks, we will remove content that provides instructions for unsafe abortion methods or promotes false claims about abortion safety under our medical misinformation policies,” the company said in a tweet.

YouTube parent Google has come under fire in recent months after a group of lawmakers began urging the company to clamp down on search results that allegedly steer people looking for abortion services to crisis pregnancy centers opposing abortion. Google announced earlier this month that it will work to quickly delete location history for people going to abortion sites and other medical sites following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.

“Like all of our policies on health/medical topics, we rely on published guidance from health authorities,” YouTube said on Thursday. “We prioritize connecting people to content from authoritative sources on health topics, and we continuously review our policies & products as real world events unfold.”

The company said it’s also launching an “information panel” to provide “viewers with context and information from local and global health authorities.” That will show up underneath abortion-related videos and above relevant search results.

Unaddressed is the fact that Youtube’s decision to treat abortion as merely another medical procedure is itself a profound left-wing bias.

  1. LISTEN UP….THERE are PEOPLE Alive Today that are a RESULT of a RAPE…INCEST…Botched ABORTION…UnWanted PREGNANCY…DISABILITY..Are They LESS IMPORTANT????? GOD is the GIVER of LIFE. From SamuraiQueen aka CHIAKIA.😄😄😄😇😇😇😉😉😉

  2. I find it hard to believe that a company as large as YouTube would allow the woke crowd to run the show. There are many people out here that do not approve of abortion, but I don’t lay on the sidewalk. I had a relative that had several abortions and it ultimately affected her mentally and that is not misinformation. Let people watch both sides of the story and come to their own conclusions, we are not stupid individuals. I’m sure my comments will mean nothing to the powers that be!

  3. So YouTube wants to get involved with the devil’s bs and favors killing babies. Well since they are a fan of killing babies, maybe they need to have their business shut down for giving taxpayers money to this BS. These people should be on there freaking knees thanking their parents for not putting them up for abortion when they were born. Good thing I don’t put money into blood money sight like YouTube

  4. WHO decides what “misinformation” is? Nearly everything the LEFT says IS misinformation. They deny SCIENCE in promoting transgenderism, man-caused global warming, and abortion, among other things!

  5. Amazing, info on killing babies is ok, info on how not to kill a baby is misinformation and subject to censorship.
