Facebook ‘has earned tens of thousands of dollars’ running abortion pill misinformation ads
News in brief
Facebook has earned tens of thousands worth of advertising revenue from anti-abortion organizations in the US who have paid to run ads that spread misinformation about abortion procedures, according to new data from Media Matters.
The advertisements have reportedly been seen millions of times.
Facebook states in its policy center that it prohibits advertisements that contain “deceptive, false or misleading claims” including “misleading health”.
Misinformation about medical information relating to abortion has been widelyreported to have risen significantly in the fallout of the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
