Mark Zuckerberg's speech at Georgetown University in 2019 highlighted the importance of empowerment and free speech. However, a recent GLAAD report indicates that social media platforms, particularly Meta, have regressed in protecting LGBTQ users. Meta's Platforms, such as Threads, Facebook, and Instagram, received low scores for their failure to enforce policies against hate speech and discrimination, with a concerning policy revision that allows harmful content against LGBTQ individuals. This shift, particularly noted under Zuckerberg’s new leadership, challenges the previously stated ideals of inclusivity and safety.
"More people being able to share their perspectives has always been necessary to build a more inclusive society, but this view is increasingly being challenged."
"GLAAD found definitive evidence that six major social media platforms consistently refuse to develop and enforce policies protecting LGBTQ users, while simultaneously subjecting them to disproportionate moderation."
"Meta's revision to its Hateful Conduct policy allows content 'encouraging hate, harassment, and discrimination against LGBTQ people' to be acceptable, raising serious concerns."
"The GLAAD report assigns each major social media site a 'Platform Scorecard,' grading platforms on a 1-to-100 scale based on 14 LGBTQ-specific standards."
