DISINFO: Microsoft founder Bill Gates wants to reduce the population by promoting abortions

SUMMARY

Some of the richest people in the world want to control the world through abortions. Microsoft founder Bill Gates wants to reduce the population by promoting abortions. Reducing the world’s population is the main problem that deserves to be solved with their money.

RESPONSE

Repeating disinformation and conspiracy theory about Bill Gates and the global elites. Indeed, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has invested more money over the years in family planning training and promoted sex education in underdeveloped countries. The Gates Foundation pledged to support the leadership of developing countries in addressing barriers that prevent women from accessing lifesaving contraceptives. Referring to the claim, that Bill Gates and his foundation is working on depopulation policies, this claim is disinformation. An unfounded conspiracy theory, sharing a recurrent pro-Kremlin narrative about "secret elites" controlling world leaders.
