Google’s YouTube says it will remove some videos that provide instructions for unsafe abortion methods.
“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.”to provide"viewers with context and information from local and global health authorities.
“An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy," the display said."It uses medicine or surgery to remove the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus. The procedure is done by a licensed healthcare professional.” The panel includes a link for people who want to “learn more” and instructions to “Consult your local medical authority for advice.”
YouTube has taken a similar approach for other controversial topics like the Covid-19 pandemic and political elections. But it's been uncommon for the company to state that it will remove videos altogether.
