A recent GLAAD study indicates a notable surge in anti-LGBTQ+ content on Meta's platforms following changes to hate speech moderation policies in January. The study, which surveyed around 7,000 users from 86 countries, highlights alarming statistics: 92% of respondents feel unsafe amid increased harmful content, and many reported direct experiences of hate. The report criticizes Meta for allowing derogatory language about LGBTQ+ individuals and discontinuing third-party fact-checking in the U.S., contributing to a climate of fear and self-censorship among users.
Meta's moderation policy changes have led to increased hate speech targeting the LGBTQ+ community, resulting in self-censorship among users and growing unease about personal safety.
Since January, there has been a reported 75% increase in harmful content affecting LGBTQ+ individuals on Meta, raising concerns among users about safety and freedom of expression.
