🚨 Attention Health Companies 🚨 Do you work in communications at a European health company and do you use very large online platforms (VLOPS) such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Linkedin, and Google to advertise your product or service? Have you faced digital suppression on social media when sharing essential health information? We want to hear your story! The Case for Her, in partnership with the CensHERship campaign, is gathering insights from health innovators like you. Whether your content has been flagged as inappropriate, shadowbanned, or outright removed, we need to understand how censorship is impacting both women’s and men’s health content. Examples include: 💻Flagging of accurate sexual health information as “explicit” or “inappropriate” content. 💻Shadowbanning posts about menstruation, menopause, or erectile dysfunction—leaving followers unaware of these vital messages. 💻Removal of ads or posts for reproductive health products with little to no explanation. CensHERship's last research made waves, landing in national media and sparking meetings with two major social media platforms. Now, we need your voice to push this forward, break down these barriers, and create a fair digital space for all. 👉 Take the survey below and let’s make a difference together!
