Summary
Meta updated its hate speech guidelines to allow users to accuse LGBTQ individuals of being mentally ill based on their gender identity or sexual orientation, citing “political and religious discourse” and “non-serious usage” of such language.
The changes also remove bans on hate speech targeting protected classes, including race, gender, and disability.
LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD condemned the policy, accusing Meta of enabling anti-LGBTQ hate for profit.
These updates are part of broader moderation changes as Meta aligns itself with Donald Trump’s administration.
Ah so accuse politicians and CEOs of being transgender. They’ll soon reverse it
FB is going to die eventually. This expedites it. Its audience is aging, not getting younger. Add hate speech, and you’ll just drive people off it further.
I use FB for my birthday and connecting with family. I can find other platforms. Thanks.
So what? Let’s do the time honoured tradition of ignoring things.
Ngl did not except a social media platform to do this
Motherfuckah, I’m ill, not sick.
