The Democratic representatives on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee said the misinformation and disinformation being spread online was putting people’s health at risk.

“As the legal status of abortion changes across the country and a number of state legislatures impose drastic new restrictions on health care choices, people seeking information about abortion care and services turn to [Facebook, Instagram, and X] for accurate and reliable information—not propaganda,” the lawmakers stated in the letter.

“Yet individuals and groups that are anti-choice are promoting dangerously inaccurate medical information and false content about abortion online.”

They noted posts and advertisements for products that claimed to be able to reverse chemical abortions, something the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has said is “unproven and unethical.”

The House Democrats pointed to an apparent double standard when it came to posts relating to abortion on Musk’s platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

The lawmakers requested that Musk and Zuckerberg take action to tamp down the misinformation and also asked that a briefing be provided to Oversight Committee staffers.
