Feminist orgs claim Meta censoring posts about Cornell 7 case
Gender justice and other organizations claim Meta is shutting down posts about the rape case.
A coalition of feminist and tech justice organizations alleges that Meta is censoring content related to the Cornell 7 sexual assault case. Jenna Sherman, campaign director at UltraViolet, stated that this is part of a pattern designed to silence survivor voices. After Florence Pugh posted support for the unnamed victim, Jane Doe, Instagram initially placed a sensitive-content warning on her post, making it invisible to some users.
UltraViolet, along with other organizations, has launched a campaign, asking Meta to stop censoring posts about the Cornell case. The coalition includes Democracy for America Advocacy Fund, Kairos Fellowship, National Campaign for Justice, NOW, and ReproAction. They are urging Meta to stop silencing users, particularly women, and limit their ability to engage in discussions about sexual violence.
