" #Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to #abortion access providers, #queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.
The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the #Facebook, #Instagram and #WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide, some serving tens of thousands of people – in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms. Many of these were from #Europe and the #UK, however the bans also affected groups serving women in #Asia, #LatinAmerica and the #MiddleEast."

Want to have a better understanding of Trump's recent war crimes and the history US foreign policy in Central and South America? This is a simple, easily understandable introduction. If you're a US citizen/immigrant you really should familiarize yourself with this.
