Leo and Zahra discuss the CensHership campaign.Dr Zahra substackhttps://drzahra.substack.com/Reports / papers https://www.censhership.co.uk/https://www.censhership.co.uk/white-paper Key Findings of this whitepaper:95% of women's health creators surveyed in 2024-25 reported censorship on platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, Google, Amazon, YouTube, Pinterest and Linkedln.Self-censorship is widespread, with over half of respondents altering their language or imagery to avoid takedowns — reinforcing stigma and limiting public understanding.Platform moderation systems are inconsistent, opaque and biased, disproportionately penalising women's health content while allowing equivalent male health content.The consequences are economic, social, and public health-related. Startups report losing revenue, credibility, and reach; public access to vital health information is being obstructed; and deep-rooted taboos are being inadvertently reinforced by tech.References to other things that we discussed:https://www.talkswithdrsesay.com/https://www.instagram.com/drnighatarif/?hl=enhttps://thelowdown.com/ Hosted on Acast.
