  • A new GLAAD report shows failing grades for Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X/Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a report by GLAAD, an LGBTQ advocacy group, which criticizes major social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) for failing to adequately protect and support their LGBTQ users. The report highlights that these platforms have not effectively addressed the spread of hate speech, misinformation, and harmful content targeting the LGBTQ community. It points out that while some platforms have policies in place, the enforcement is inconsistent, and there is a lack of transparency and accountability. The report also notes that despite some efforts to introduce features aimed at supporting the community, such as pronoun options and anti-bullying tools, the overall experience for LGBTQ users remains unsafe and unwelcoming. GLAAD calls for more robust measures and better engagement with the community to create a safer online environment.
