Today's @advocate.com coverage from @cwnewser.bsky.social of the new @glaad.bsky.social 2026 Social Media Safety Index www.advocate.com/news/glaad-2...

GLAAD warns that the internet is becoming more dangerous for LGBTQ+ people

The annual Social Media Safety Index report accuses Meta and YouTube of rolling back protections while online anti-LGBTQ+ hate and disinformation surge.

advocate.com

Grateful to @chadibenedetto.bsky.social at @mashable.com for this overview of our @glaad.bsky.social 2026 Social Media Safety Index — noting that X ranks lowest & TikTok highest. Plus bonus 2022 nostalgia note: Twitter scored higher than TikTok then. Ah, the memories! mashable.com/article/lgbt...

X ranks lowest on social media safety ranking for LGBTQ users

GLAAD's annual report found a social media landscape 'rife' with anti-LGBTQ hate.

Can't entirely understand why, but this image is making me so happy.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is targeting LGBTQ stories. They are trying to control what you see on television. This government overreach is dangerous to the existence of an independent and free media. Take action: glaad.org/fcc

Instagram censorship crackdown sparks alarm among LGBTQ+ creators

Meta denies claims it unfairly targets LGBTQ+ users as critics point to suspended queer and sexual wellness accounts.

👀 👎 Looking at these dismal scores, it may seem that there is no new “news” in this year’s report. The fact that the SMSI’s findings tell the same story of platform failure year after year is, unfortunately, itself newsworthy.

It's so disheartening watching this court carry out the explicit project of white supremacy so blatantly while gaslighting the public to say it's trying to stop discrimination. They're dismantling every major legacy of the civil rights movement. We need to reform this court.
