Twitter placed an age barrier on an abortion-focused ad from a New York congressional candidate on Monday, saying the Democrat’s clip could be inappropriate for viewers younger than 18.
The move by Twitter drew swift outcry from the candidate, Max Rose, and came as the latest flashpoint in a feud between Democrats and social media platforms over content restrictions following the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
“OUTRAGEOUS,” Rose, a former House lawmaker running to recapture a seat covering Staten Island, fumed in a tweet, arguing that he was being censored. “The voters have a right to know so they can make an informed choice.”
