As The Washington Post reports, Meta is failing to moderate extreme anti-trans hate across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Trans people — like everyone — should be able to use Meta’s platforms without the threat of hate or harassment.

GLAAD continues to call on Meta to enforce its existing policies, and to create and share an action plan to address the issue.

NEW: Meta is failing to moderate extreme anti-trans content across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, according to a new GLAAD report.

Meta’s hate and harassment policies prohibit targeting people on the basis of their protected characteristics, including sexual orientation and gender identity.

So why are Instagram, Facebook, and Threads full of extreme anti-trans hate?

This is huge 👏 Mastodon has made it clear that targeted misgendering and deadnaming, as well as promotion of “conversion therapy” content is prohibited. As GLAAD has noted, all social media platforms should do the same.

“Conversion therapy” is also a harmful practice that attempts to change an LGBTQ person’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity. It’s great to see Mastodon stand up to say that anti-LGBTQ hate has no place on its platform.
