MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Healthcare information on online platforms – E-000328/2025

Source: European Parliament

Question for written answer  E-000328/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Veronika Cifrová Ostrihoňová (Renew)

Reports from the US demonstrates that Meta platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook, have been deleting, blocking or removing posts about the availability of medical abortion and suspending healthcare providers’ accounts, only to later reinstate them (The New York Times, 23 January 2025).

How does the Commission, for example within the scope of the Digital Services Act, ensure that similar practices of algorithmic moderation do not unduly suppress legal content relating to healthcare in the EU? Does the Commission have data or evidence that similar content moderation problems have occurred in the EU?
