Major Social Media Platforms Fall Short in Protecting LGBTQ Users from Online Harm, According to GLAAD Report

  • GLAAD's annual Social Media Safety Index shows major platforms struggle to curb hate speech and harassment targeting LGBTQ people, with Twitter scoring the lowest.
  • While Meta, YouTube, and TikTok improved enforcement of anti-LGBTQ hate policies, their efforts remain inconsistent and inadequate, warranting oversight.
  • Rampant online hate and misinformation threaten the safety and well-being of LGBTQ users if left unaddressed.
  • Attacks on the LGBTQ community have surged on Twitter following Elon Musk's takeover and loosening of content moderation.
  • GLAAD calls on tech companies to strengthen policies, promote civil discourse, and be held accountable for failing to protect marginalized groups.
