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 on 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 mainstream platforms improved from a year earlier. Twitter, which was taken private by Tesla CEO Elon Musk last October, was the only exception.

    I’m not surprised.

    It’s going to become even more of a hostile environment once the ability to block other users is removed soon, or he makes it a paid only feature.

    I don’t want to just respond with something like “in other news, the Pope is still Catholic”, but with Elon Musk running the show over there there’s really no good reason to expect otherwise.

    So, yeah, Pope still Catholic.

    Honestly, to nobody’s surprise. At least for the people who don’t have a blind hate for GLAAD and/or queer people, this will be a nice thing to pull up as proof of how hostile Twitter has gotten.

    Been blocking way more people in the last few months than ever before.

      It’s possible that the word “major” as a qualifier means that the assessment is excluding 4chan and similar image board sites.
