GLAAD flags weakening LGBTQ+ protections on social media

GLAAD's Social Media Safety Index warns that platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and X are increasingly unsafe for LGBTQ+ users. The report cites policy rollbacks by Meta and Google that reduce protections, allowing harmful language and removing key identity categories. X scored the lowest on LGBTQ+ safety, while TikTok ranked highest, though still below 60 out of 100.
