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.

Bunch of made up stuff. The sponsors of the survey could easily make all of those messages themselves.
Just a way to convince the gullible people on the net to believe it.
No one really cares. It will go away like monkey pox when the liars see that. Then they’ll portray themselves as victims again with some other stunt. Jessie Smollett 2.0

Funny, I can’t say I’ve seen this. Could it be the people they hang with? Websites they choose to visit?

Musk, they’re laying the ground rules for WHY Twitter MUST be censored.

I WRITE half of 'em;

Biden's a moron,
Hunter's a sexist pig,
Jill, the first enabler

That's odd, because I've spent, well, waaaaaay too much time online in my life, over the past, hmm, circa 38 years (BBS/telnet/internet), and the only time I've ever seen a threat (other than those feeble email blackmail attempts) was in media Panic Porn, and I doubt that any of them really happened. Talking points / false flag ping.

All disagreeable speech is violent speech according to leftists. This disparity in definition needs to be taken into account, and I guarantee this author did no such thing.

[markman46]

no where in the crap article is a word about where these “threats” were posted at or what was posted.

[airborne]

I see liberals threaten whites like me relentlessly.

[2CAVTrooper]

I call BS.

The only ones who consistently have threats made against them are whites, christians, conservatives, or any combination there of.

In the last year, surveys showed that the group of non-criminal people that the most people by far wanted to send to prison camps was the unvaccinated.

More sHill bullshit.

Lucky us here on FR. We just get those due to differing opinions. ;-D

[IYAS9YAS]

My guess it’s left on left violence and threats.

[100%FEDUP]

Even the slightest bit of criticism is identified as hate, violence and phobia by the Gaystapo.

Translation: This "survey" is complete bullsh*t and was designed to get the results it did.
