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.

Their definition of “safety” is that any and all of their critics are censored.

That is actually good news. Perverts should stay away from the civilized. They have freedom of speech, so do others

LGBTQ+ was over by pedophiles. They’re not homosexuals looking for their idea of basic rights. in my opinion

“Safety”? Seriously?

There is no safety nor harm in a tweet. Sticks and stones and all that.

Just ignore it if it bothers you.

Seems to me if trans or homosexuals don’t feel manly enough the thing to do would be to testerone shots not female hormones and vice versa for women.

They don’t want tolerance. They want to be worshipped.

When we do it, it’s hate and intolerance. When their lunatic trannies march into our schools and kill kids, well, still our fault for being hateful and intolerant.

It’s the new religion, and if you don’t salute the flag of Sodom, they’ll destroy you.
