Facebook removes posts about abortion pills in US | News | DW | 29.06.2022

On Monday, the Associated Press reported on the discrepancy in how Facebook treats abortion pills and illegal drugs. Meta, Facebook’s parent company, replied to the report, saying the company had “discovered some instances of incorrect enforcement and are correcting these,” according to company spokesperson Andy Stone.

By Wednesday, Facebook was still blocking posts about abortion pills.

When posting from an account located in Atlanta, Georgia, “Looking to get abortion pills mailed to my PO Box. Please DM,” the post was removed within less than 30 seconds, DW found. A message said the request violated Facebook’s community standards on regulated goods. Abortion is legal in the state of Georgia up to the 22nd week of pregnancy.

A test from the same account that asked the same question but about the drug MDMA rather than abortion pills averted censorship requirements.

Crypto Crash Widens Divide Between Rich and Amateur Traders – The New York Times

crypto’s collapse has revealed a yawning divide: As employees of crypto companies lose their jobs and ordinary investors suffer huge losses, top executives have emerged relatively unscathed.

No crypto investor has fully escaped the downturn. But a small group of industry titans accumulated immense wealth as prices spiked over the last two years, giving them an enviable cushion. Many of them bought Bitcoin, Ether and other virtual currencies years ago, when prices were a small fraction of their current value. Some locked in their gains early, selling parts of their crypto holdings. Others run publicly traded crypto companies and cashed out of their stock or invested in real estate.

By contrast, many amateur traders flooded into the crypto market during the pandemic, when prices had already started soaring. Some poured in their life savings, leaving them vulnerable to a crash. Thousands also flocked to work for crypto companies, thinking it was a ticket to new riches. Now many of them have seen their savings vanish or have lost their jobs.
