The organization has been cited in international media, including the Associated Press, The Guardian, and France 24.[1][2][3]

History

Repro Uncensored was founded in 2024 in response to reports of reproductive health and abortion content being restricted or removed from major social media platforms.[4] The initiative was formed through collaborations between reproductive rights advocates, technologists, and artists.

Since its founding, the organization has worked with international reproductive health organizations and digital rights groups to collect data on content restrictions and to raise concerns about transparency in platform governance.[5]
