Matthieu Jost, the founder of LGBTQ+ travel platform misterb&b, expressed frustration after Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) removed their advertisements, calling it censorship. Jost founded misterb&b in 2014 to aid LGBTQ+ travelers in finding safe lodgings following personal experiences with homophobia. The company's ads were rejected based on claims of containing content related to sexual orientation or gender identity. This incident raises concerns about Meta's new policies that appear to limit LGBTQ+ expressions and have also affected its diversity efforts, leading to a broader discourse on free expression under the revised guidelines.
