Social media platform blocks pro-life group Live Action over ‘public safety’ guidelines

One of the biggest pro-life groups in the US have been banned from the popular social media platform Pinterest.

Live Action founder and president Lila Rose said the group’s posts have been deemed a threat to “health or public” safety. This is so even though users of the platform can still see the content of abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.

“@Pinterest has now permanently suspended @LiveAction’s account (my account remains suspended), claiming our pro-life content is ‘medically inaccurate information’ & ‘conspiracies’ that lead to ‘violence.’ #LifeCensored,” Ms. Rose said in a series of tweets.

“Pinterest Logic: You can freely pin if you’re Planned Parenthood, an abortion provider. But if you’re a pro-life group & pin about the beauty & humanity of a baby in the womb, you’re banned bc you’re a threat to ‘Pinner’s health or safety.’”
