2月11日，记者发现，因晒妻子生产过程视频被质疑的千万粉丝博主“保罗在美国”已被平台禁言，其账号主页显示，该用户因违反相关法律法规和政策，已被禁言。

The renowned Chinese social media influencer "Paul in America", who boasts over 10 million followers, has been suspended from a major platform for violating community guidelines, following widespread criticism over his graphic documentation of his wife's childbirth.

His account page now displays a notice citing violations of "relevant laws, regulations, and platform policies".



据此前报道，今年2月，“保罗在美国”发布妻子生产视频，称产程长达23小时，妻子三级撕裂、产后大出血，失血量达3344毫升，经紧急手术与输血后脱离危险，母女平安。

期间，保罗全程跟拍，发布含妻子裸露画面的视频，且在妻子大出血抢救时仍持续拍摄，被指过度消费隐私、漠视伴侣痛苦、只为流量。

据悉，保罗毕业于名校，定居西雅图，曾被称为“会说东北话的微软产品经理”，靠说东北话走红。截至发稿，其发布的相关争议视频已删除。

The controversy began in early February when Paul, a US-based former Microsoft product manager known for his viral Northeastern Chinese dialect videos, posted footage of his wife's 23-hour labor. In the video, he detailed her third-degree tear, postpartum hemorrhage, and the loss of 3,344 milliliters of blood — requiring emergency surgery and transfusion. Both mother and child survived.

Paul filmed extensively throughout the process, including moments when his wife was exposed and during critical bleeding episodes. Critics accused him of exploiting private family moments, prioritizing content over compassion, and disregarding his wife's distress for online attention.

The contested video has since been removed.

中青报·中青网记者从北京春林律师事务所庞九林律师处了解到，保罗虽对敏感部位打码，但产妇的“痛苦”仍被千万人观看，这已涉嫌侵犯妻子肖像权与隐私权。“保罗妻子在失血状态下被拍摄，其‘同意’的清醒性与自愿性存疑，可能构成无效同意。”

Legal experts weighed in on the case. Pang Jiulin, a partner at Beijing Chunlin Law Firm, noted that although sensitive areas were pixelated, broadcasting the mother's suffering to millions still raises serious concerns over portrait rights and privacy. "Her consent, given while in critical condition with massive blood loss, is questionable in terms of clarity and voluntariness — it may constitute invalid consent," Pang told China Youth Daily.



记者注意到，有人辩护说：“这能让更多人了解生产的危险，提高对孕产妇的重视。”

对此，有媒体发表评论称，这种初衷或许真诚，但方式错了。公共教育不等于无底线曝光。如果真想推动社会对生育风险的认知，完全可以通过医生访谈、匿名案例分享等合理方式实现，而非直接展示伴侣在最脆弱状态下的身体与情绪。真正的共情，是站在对方的角度思考“她是否愿意被这样看见”，而不是自以为是地替她“发声”。

Some defended Paul, arguing the video helped raise public awareness of childbirth risks. But media commentators pushed back, saying such intentions do not justify invasive exposure. "True empathy means asking whether she would want to be seen this way — not speaking for her," read one editorial. It suggested alternative educational formats, such as doctor interviews or anonymized case studies, to responsibly inform the public.

2月10日，北京市第一中西医结合医院@付虹医生 发文指出，记录可以有爱，但不能无底线；流量可以追求，但不能失良知。当生育变成流量剧本、陪伴沦为拍摄任务，我们还守得住最基本的人性温度吗？
