Twitter worst among major social media platforms when it comes to LGBTQ safety, GLAAD says
Associated Press ^ | June 15, 2023 | Barbara Ortutay

All major social media platforms do poorly at protecting LGBTQ+ users from hate speech and harassment — especially those who are transgender, non-binary or gender non-conforming, the advocacy group GLAAD said Thursday. But Twitter is the worst.

In its annual Social Media Safety Index, GLAAD gave Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter low or failing scores, saying the platforms don’t do enough to keep their users safe. That said, most improved from a year ago.

Twitter, which was acquired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk last October, was the only exception. GLAAD’s scorecard called it “the most dangerous platform for LGBTQ people” and the only one that saw its scores decline from last year. […]

On Twitter, attacks on LGBTQ+ users have increased substantially since Elon Musk took over the company last fall, according to multiple advocacy groups.

A big part of the reason is the drastic staffing cuts Musk has enacted since his takeover — there are simply not enough content moderators to handle the flood of problematic tweets that range from hate speech to graphic material and harassment. Musk has also described himself as a “free-speech absolutist” who believes Twitter’s previous policies were too restricting. …

These lies are kinda lame.

GLAAD also claims without evidence that homosexuals are doxxed more on Twitter.

Yeah....they don’t do much for protecting “TERFs” from trans- hate, either.

In other words, Twitter is not bending over for GLAAD.

GLAAD is just another SAAD front for the “Deep State” political machine in this country hostile to Donald Trump, Elon Musk or anyone else that gets in its way.

I’m old enough to remember when “safety” meant you did things to prevent injuries. Now it’s a catch-all term for anything that might hurt someones tender widdle feelings...

I will bet that at least 95% of Americans would happily let queers of all kinds just go their own way and practice whatever perversion the like in the privacy of their own homes or even in public, as long as they weren’t in our faces about it. When that does happen and normal hetero people object to it, we’re not “phobic” or hateful, we’re only trying to restore the above balance. Bill Clinton was wrong about a lot of stuff but “don’t ask, don’t tell” was a great idea and we should go back to it.

Groomers and the modern fagoid assault mafia should feel unsafe.

Nobody is bothering any gays.
