TikTok has briefly suspended the account of Hey Jane, a prominent telemedicine abortion service, four times without explanation. Instagram has suspended Mayday Health, a nonprofit that provides information about abortion pill access, without explanation as well. And the search engine Bing has erroneously flagged the website for Aid Access, a major seller of abortion pills online, as unsafe.

~~Seems like someone is paying a lot of money to suppress access to information. Anyone have insight as to how to find out who specifically?~~

I don't know, but it sure seems like this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

FYI I tried to use piped, but got blocked asking me to sign in... I really wish we had a better YouTube alternative.

I've been getting this lately too. I just end up downloading the video with yt-dlp to watch it.
