Big Tech Bans Anti-Abortion Information as “Porn, Conspiracy Theories” | The Mark Harrington Show | 6.13.2019
The writing is on the wall.
Just recently, LiveAction.org was put on a “pornography” blocklist on Pinterest in an effort to suppress their pro-life content from being shared on the platform.

Big Tech Bans Anti-Abortion Information as “Porn, Conspiracy Theories” | The Mark Harrington Show | 6.13.2019
The writing is on the wall.
Just recently, LiveAction.org was put on a “pornography” blocklist on Pinterest in an effort to suppress their pro-life content from being shared on the platform.
Pinterst wrote, “We don’t allow harmful misinformation on Pinterest. That includes medical misinformation and conspiracies that turn individuals and facilities into targets for harassment and violence.”
Created Equal has also had our information referred to as “pornography.” In an abortion debate at the Purdue University, professor Dr. David Sanders in May 2017 referred to victim images of abortion as child pornography.

Online censorship of prolife groups and anti-abortion content is not new. Because of our use of abortion victim video and pictures, Created Equal is accustomed to being censored online.
Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram are notorious for censoring pro-life content and the leaders of the pro-life movement need to take heed of the coming total shut down of content on social media sites. Begging these platforms to be fair is a losing position.
Despite referring to themselves as open platforms, social media sites have essentially become publishers. Publishers can publish what they wish and are not required to adhere to first amendment protections given to traditional public platforms.
Adding the coming censorship storm was the endorsement by over 180 CEO’s of letter a letter that ran as a full-page ad in The New York Times Monday under the headline "Don't Ban Equality."

Pro-life groups that rely entirely on social media to educate the American people on abortion are going to eventually be shut down.
The crackdown I predicted years ago by big tech is happening now and there is little prolifers can do about it. It’s time for those groups who have put all their eggs in the online basket.
Rather than fight a losing battle with multi-billion dollar corporations, Created Equal uses the only venue that cannot be shut down and has been proven successful in bringing about social reform – the public square.
In the meantime, conservative and Christian entrepreneurs need to come up with social media alternatives like Fox News is to the establishment media.
Pro-life organizations need to find an alternative soon or be left out in the cold.
Please tune in and listen to Mark will provide an answer to the problem of online censorship.
