💨 Abstract

A GLAAD report highlights that major social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X have failed to protect LGBTQ+ users from hate and harassment due to rolled-back safety practices. Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube have withdrawn protections, allowing derogatory language and removing "gender identity and expression" from protected characteristics. X scored the lowest (30/100) in LGBTQ safety, while TikTok scored the highest (56/100).
