SexSense is deeply concerned by recent reports that Meta has shut down and restricted global accounts linked to abortion information and queer content, including abortion hotlines and sexuality education resources. These decisions undermine access to reliable, evidence-based information on sexual and reproductive health and rights at a time when such access is increasingly contested.

Many of the accounts affected are key providers of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). Through accessible, non-judgemental content on bodily autonomy, consent, relationships and LGBTQIA+ identities, they support learning that is often missing from formal education systems and reaches people who may have no other trusted sources of information.

Suppressing this content does not make online spaces safer. It narrows public understanding, fuels stigma and leaves young people and marginalised communities more exposed to misinformation, hatred, exclusion and harm.

Digital platforms are not neutral actors in this landscape. Their moderation choices shape whose knowledge is visible and whose voices are heard. Silencing educational, rights-based content weakens the conditions needed for informed decision-making, inclusion and wellbeing.

SexSense stands in solidarity with the organisations affected and calls for the protection of Comprehensive Sexuality Education and the right to provide it. High-quality CSE is not a threat to society; it is a foundation for one built on respect, equity and care. Those who deliver it should be supported and amplified, not pushed out of public spaces.
