GoFundMe is banning anti-vaccination campaigns.
The fundraising service announced last week they will shut down any campaign that promotes “misinformation” about vaccines.
It has a policy that prohibits users from making health claims that have not been approved or verified by regulatory agencies.
The move to specifically ban anti-vaccination campaigns comes after companies like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube have removed similar content.
Health officials have blamed high-profile outbreaks of measles earlier this year on unvaccinated people.
Diseases like Measles and Mumps are easily prevented with vaccines; but they have yet to be fully eradicated largely because some people elect not to receive those vaccines.
