"Leading social media companies today do not meet basic best practices in content moderation, transparency, data privacy, and workforce diversity - and continuously refuse to meaningfully prioritize the safety, privacy, and expression"
"GLAAD found that all platforms were 'rife with anti-LGBTQ hate, harassment, and disinformation,' and noted nationwide rollbacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts."
"X scored just 29 points out of a possible 100. No platform has ever scored above a 67."
GLAAD's Social Media Safety Index evaluated six major platforms—Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, and TikTok—on LGBTQ+ safety, privacy, and expression through metrics including diversity programs, content moderation, and enforcement mechanisms. X scored lowest at 29 points out of 100, while no platform exceeded 67 points. All platforms received failing grades and contained widespread anti-LGBTQ+ hate, harassment, and disinformation. Meta and YouTube's updated LGBTQ+ policies contributed to declining scores, with YouTube dropping 11 points. TikTok maintained its score at 56 points. Since 2021, X has consistently ranked among the lowest-scoring platforms. Scores reflect corporate transparency metrics and 14 LGBTQ+-specific online indicators.
