People buy highly illegal drugs on the Internet all the time. Yes, most people regard an address as sufficiently anonymous, and either way, it's obviously not meaningfully doctor-supervised if a possibly-imaginary doctor never sees anything but an internet form you filled out.
Again, I am not saying things should be this way, but we're talking about black/grey market prescription drug suppliers mailing prescription drugs to people pseudonymously/anonymously, usually/sometimes in violation of US law and almost certainly nearly always in violation of the FB rules I posted above.
If this was literally any other prescription drug, nobody would find this result surprising.
NB: In contradiction to one of your downthread posts, very few of these places are taking insurance information. (Maybe even "none", but I am willing to believe someone does.) Usually one of their selling points is that it is "private". The article for example cites Aid Access, which does not. Neither do any of the sites in the downstream commenter I clicked on. I encourage you to actually look at these sites and see how easy it is. I am not saying that it is a bad thing, but clearly it is not aboveboard.
- ceejayoz 2y agoI would encourage you to check out the actual affected accounts from the article, which are listed. > The Instagram account of Hey Jane, another abortion pill provider, was recently invisible in Instagram search, said Rebecca Davis, who leads marketing at Hey Jane. https://www.heyjane.com/ https://www.heyjane.com/ Takes government insurance. Telehealth appointment. > The Instagram accounts of other abortion pill providers, including Women Help Women and Just the Pill, were also suspended in recent days. https://justthepill.com/ https://justthepill.com/ Telehealth, looking to take Medicaid. Specific states only, presumably due to it being properly regulated. They’re going after the prescribing docs now. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjr8jv2yjz9o https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjr8jv2yjz9o
- Amezarak 2y agoI did, as I said, I went through Aid Access. I checked some of the others as well. > Telehealth, looking to take Medicaid. "Looking to take Medicaid" is a strange way of saying they currently do not accept any form of insurance. Hey Jane is the only one I have seen thus far. And of course, there's a reason why they also accept eg. Cashapp rather than just taking CC/debit cards - they expect most of their customers will not want them to have any actual information on them. And again, any prescription med promotion, including 100 legit prescription meds, require some byzantine bureaucratic process with FB themselves - not just being legal or de facto legal.
