Facebook censored an account drawing attention to Kamala Harris’s history of pro-abortion policy: A Facebook account called The Proof Blog posted a screenshot of an X post reminding users what Kamala Harris did to pro-life journalists in California while she was Attorney General. “Does anyone remember that time two undercover journalists exposed that Planned Parenthood was selling aborted baby body parts and the Attorney General of California prosecuted the journalists and protected Planned Parenthood? That Attorney General was Kamala Harris,” X user John D wrote. Facebook covered the post with an interstitial and a fact check warning that read “The same information was checked in another post by independent fact-checkers.”
The platform linked to a PolitiFact Fact Check from 2020 that referenced a Snopes fact check. “It is true that no charges were brought against Planned Parenthood in California — for the sound reason that Planned Parenthood was investigated by multiple states — but none of them found sufficient evidence to support a prosecution over claims that the organization had unlawfully sold (or offered to sell) human fetal tissue,” the outlet wrote. PolitiFact went on to claim that the journalists were prosecuted because of California’s all-party consent recording laws that require all parties recorded on video or audio to consent to recording in order to protect the privacy of Californians.
