Lila Rose, the founder of the pro-life group Live Action made famous for undercover videos of abuse and criminal activity at abortion clinics, announced on Twitter that her personal account has been banned from TikTok, as well as their company account has been banned from advertising.
She points out that the ads were disallowed because they were “driven by partisan political motives” while the social media giant has no problem allowing ads for pro-murder megacorp Planned Parenthood.
In a statement on their website, Lila Rose elaborated:
In yet another attempt to silence pro-life speech, Big Tech has sided with the abortion industry by banning Live Action advertisements on TikTok. Live Action is the only pro-life organization with a large following on the platform, and spreading facts about abortion is vital on that platform specifically.
In the latest attempt to silence the pro-life organization’s content, TikTok has banned Live Action from advertising on its platform. While our content is still available to those who search for it, we are blocked from expanding our reach to new viewers.
Unfortunately, censorship is nothing new to us. Large technology companies play an ever larger role in our lives, including by deciding what information we come in contact with. We must rise against this unjust censorship. While we respectfully demand the reinstatement of our ads on TikTok, we will also proactively work to expand our reach on all of our other platforms.”
