#Meta’s #betrayal of #LGBTQ+ #users goes even deeper than we thought.
We’re all still reeling from the news that #Meta—and by extension #Instagram and #Threads—will commit to turning a #blindeye to #antiLGBTQ+ #hatespeech for the foreseeable future. But a new detail found on the site’s “#transparencycenter” shows just how worrisome the new #change is.

'#Huge #problems' with #Instagram and #Facebook #changes, says #oversightboard.
The #cochair of the #independent #body that reviews Facebook and Instagram has said she is "very concerned" about sweeping changes to what #content is allowed on the platforms and how its #moderated.
For many of us, the smoking gun to show that this isn't just a stupid right-wing push, but actual TERFs, was in the announcement's use of the slur 'transgenderism', a term which specifically equates being trans (or, in a larger sense, gender-nonconforming at all) with mental and emotional deviance.
Nice of them to get Chaya Raichik to write their community guidelines.
