The GLAAD report says that instead of protecting LGBTQ users, the companies are safeguarding information about how they respond to those attacks.
and TikTok are failing to stop hate and threats against LGBTQ users, a report issued Wednesday from advocacy group GLAAD found.
"The reality is, there’s very little transparency and very little accountability," said Jenni Olson, GLAAD’s director for social media safety and author of the report. "And people feel helpless." "YouTube doesn’t do anything about it," Sapinsky said. "For someone who says they don’t allow hate on the website, they sure do."Every June, the LGBTQ+ community and allies celebrate what has become "Pride Month."
A Twitter spokesperson said in a statement that the company was discussing the report’s findings with GLAAD. A statement from TikTok did not directly address the report but said the company is working to create an "inclusive environment."GLAAD recommended that the platforms start releasing the training methods for content moderators as well as the number of accounts and posts the companies remove for violating rules designed to protect LGBTQ users.
