Meta has reached a new low point. This emerges from a GLAAD report. GLAAD is a major LGBTQ+ organisation in the United States.

The report is called the Social Media Safety Index. It measures how safe social media is for LGBTQ+ users. Meta scores worse this year than ever before.

Meta owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads. The company has made major policy changes recently. These changes make the platforms riskier for queer users.

Trans and non-binary people face particular risks. They encounter harmful content more often. They also receive weaker protection against hate speech and harassment.

GLAAD is very concerned about these developments. The organisation believes Meta is shirking responsibility. Queer people deserve a safe online environment.

Meta's policy changes began in early 2025. The company decided to moderate less strictly. This allows more harmful posts to stay online.

Critics say Meta deliberately chose less protection. This happens when LGBTQ+ rights face pressure. The United States faces a difficult political situation for the queer community.

GLAAD's report compares different social media platforms. Meta performs worse than other major platforms. This is a troubling trend for millions of LGBTQ+ users worldwide.

GLAAD calls on Meta to take action. The organisation wants stronger policies implemented. Users need better protection against discrimination and harm.

Meta has not officially responded to the report yet. LGBTQ+ organisations continue applying pressure. They want social media to become safe spaces for everyone.
