More than half of Americans say they’ve seen social media posts calling for violence against someone based on their race, gender or sexuality, according to results of a new poll, and women and LGBTQ+ people report higher rates of online harassment compared with other groups.
The survey — commissioned by UltraViolet, GLAAD, Kairos, and Women’s March — included a sample of over 1000 social media users, with oversamples of people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ respondents.
“The alarming poll results reinforce just how badly social media companies are failing when it comes to protecting LGBTQ and other marginalized communities online,” said GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement. GLAAD, which stands for Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, is the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization.
“At a time when online hate and harassment is leading to real world threats and violence, these companies must make urgent improvements to enforcement of content and ad policies. Everyone deserves to feel safe on social media,” Ellis added.

Free Speech is clearly bad. We need to round up all people whose thought is ungood, and send them to the camps.
More BS by babies to tell the world that the US is an evil, cruel nation.
Sick of these traitors.

You can BET it’s just from all the spoiled-brat whining he gets from social media all the way up to MSM.

Look like Gianna Melillo hasn’t kept an eye on NY Chicago St Louis..................................................
Ay, por favor-esta mierda otra vez? Someone needs to explain to these whiners that there are no protected classes-the Constitution says free speech is for everyone and not guaranteed not to offend anyone-even fragile snowflakes-they need to read it for themselves-and in the meantime, will someone please call them a waambulance?
If you read anything by the left you will see those threats on an hourly basis 24/7. The left is the primary source of threats of violence and perpetrators of violence.
“At a time when online hate and harassment is leading to real world threats and violence...”
Show me the evidence of that.
I have no doubt this is a complete lie, and what they call “violence” is actually more like disagreement or failing to agree with the LGBTQXYX propaganda.
A Facebook or Twitter comment is not a “threat” or “violence.”
Jesse Smolletts?
My grand children watched violent video games over Thanksgiving. What is being done to prevent our children from being overloaded with violence?
A two worded solution: Keep Scrolling!
This article is a JOKE.
Lies. It would be splashed all over. What I have seen are actual threats of violence by the democrat party terrorist front group, antifa.
There ... I fixed it.

Climate change is obviously causing it all.
Ban Duraflame fireplace logs.
Do it NOW - or else we're all UTTERLY DOOMED!
