Organizations using Facebook and Patreon to share information and resources on sexual health say they’re experiencing an uptick of bans and censorship, even when their content isn’t “adult” in nature.

Timaree Schmit, who runs a sex education group on Facebook, told me in Facebook messages that she and several admin for her page SEXx Interactive were banned from Facebook the day after their biggest annual conference in June. When she logged on, she saw a message from Facebook saying that an "offending image" had violated the platform’s community standards. The image was SEXx Interactive’s logo, which is simply text of the word “SEXx.” She and the admins for the page were banned for 30 days, and the page was taken down.
