The Liberal Washington Post is facing backlash after it published a report claiming that women choosing to get off hormonal birth control are doing so because of a “misinformation explosion.”
The article, which is behind a pay wall, states “women are getting off birth control amid [a] misinformation explosion,” pointing to a trend of women online explaining how their lives have vastly improved since they ditched big pharma produced hormonal birth control and sought out natural alternatives.
It further states that “Physicians say they’re seeing an explosion of birth-control misinformation online targeting a vulnerable demographic: people in their teens and early 20s who are more likely to believe what they see on their phones because of algorithms that feed them a stream of videos reinforcing messages often divorced from scientific evidence.”
The piece then proclaims “TikTok recently removed at least five videos linking birth control to mental health issues and other health problems after The Post asked how the company prevents the spread of misinformation.”
The article notes that one such video that was removed was posted by journalist Brett Cooper, who suggested that birth control affects weight and fertility, as well as influencing who women are attracted to.
The article states that the video “racked up over 219,000 ‘likes’ before TikTok removed it following The Post’s inquiry.”
So, the Washington Post admits it is pressuring social media platforms to remove what it has just arbitrarily decided is misinformation, including the opinions and accounts of women who have been on the pill.
The article also took aim at Brittany Martinez, the founder of Evie magazine, who has spoken out about the side effects women have experienced from hormonal birth control, and has developed a ‘detox’ product for women ditching the pill.
Martinez also noted that TikTok has now removed ads for her products:
The Liberal Washington Post article also suggests that women rejecting hormonal birth control are conservatives, a claim that podcaster Alex Clark points out is highly questionable.
The Post also doubled down on their piece by producing a mega cringe TikTok video:
