Meta’s Misstep: How Policy Changes Fuel LGBTQ+ Backlash
Meta’s policy update seems to believe in the power of sticks, stones, and words to break bones. By allowing more hateful speech, they’re now making it easier to throw verbal pies at vulnerable groups, especially LGBTQ+ people. AllOut and friends say, “Hey, Meta, maybe try not to be a hate-enabler?”
Hot Take:
Oh, Meta! Just when we thought you couldn’t get any more controversial, you go and tweak your hateful conduct policy to allow a wee bit more “expressiveness” against certain groups. It’s like giving a few more inches of rope to those who love playing the game of verbal hangman. Bravo, or should I say… Boo?
Key Points:
- Meta’s policy changes allow dehumanizing speech against certain groups.
- The policy revision seems timed with political events, notably Trump’s second election.
- Restrictions on demeaning comparisons to inanimate objects and filth were removed.
- LGBTQ+ groups, led by AllOut, are rallying against these changes.
- A broad coalition of social justice organizations supports reversing Meta’s policy.
