Recent shadow-banning of abortion-related accounts on Instagram has brought to light ongoing censorship issues that organizations like Hey Jane encounter. Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many groups have experienced limits on their visibility online. The recent suppression of content appears to coincide with political shifts, raising concerns about free speech protections. Hey Jane's marketing head, Rebecca Davis, expressed that the difficulty for new users to locate their services hinders access to critical healthcare information. The removal of factual posts about abortion reinforces fears of escalating censorship against abortion rights groups.
"For someone who's not following us but is seeking out care, there's really no way for them to be able to know that the only way to find us is to type 'hey jane health'."
"The recent erasure and submerging of abortion-related content, so soon after Donald Trump's return to power, has caused fear among some abortion rights supporters that a bigger crackdown could be on the horizon."
