Meta Criticized for Inadequate Moderation of Anti-Trans Hate Speech

GLAAD's report highlights a failure by Meta to enforce its own policies against hate speech, leading to widespread anti-trans content on its platforms.

  • GLAAD's recent report documents dozens of anti-trans posts on Meta's platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, that violate the company's hate speech policies.
  • Meta often fails to remove reported posts that violate its hate speech policies, allowing anti-trans rhetoric to flourish.
  • High-profile accounts, including far-right influencers and media outlets, have been identified as sources of anti-trans content.
  • The lack of enforcement by Meta has been linked to real-world harms against LGBTQ+ individuals, including threats and violence.
  • GLAAD calls for urgent action from Meta to better moderate content and protect vulnerable users from hate speech.
