Digital Abortion Suppression, the Tik Tok Ban, and Getting around Big Tech Censorship

<p>In this digital abortion suppression conversation, NSRH spoke to Martha Dimitratou, who works with several media advocacy groups like <a href="https://www.womenonweb.org/en/">Women on Web</a>, <a href="https://www.plancpills.org/">Plan C Pills</a>, and <a href="https://www.reprouncensored.org/">Repro Uncensored. </a></p>

<p>The politicization of abortion at the hands of those in power has created numerous barriers to our ability to seek our reliable and accurate information. Repro Uncensored is a coalition of reproductive health and internet freedom organizations dedicated to combating digital censorship and suppression. Their mission is to ensure that everyone can access information about sexual and reproductive healthcare whenever they need it.</p>

<p>RU works closely with advocacy organizations, researchers, creatives, reproductive healthcare providers, and digital rights advocates to promote the free flow of medically accurate abortion information, free from restrictions and the fear of censorship by Big Tech platforms.</p>

<p>In this episode,<a href="mailto:martha@plancpills.org"> Martha Dimitratou</a> walks us through the formation of this coalition and dives into the some of the ongoing projects that fight against the suppression of abortion related information and tools! Martha also approached her work through an international lens, recognizing that the struggle against Big Tech doesn’t exist in a vacuum. She draws inspiration from our ability to work collectively across the globe.</p>
