Summary

Meta updated its hate speech guidelines to allow users to accuse LGBTQ individuals of being mentally ill based on their gender identity or sexual orientation, citing “political and religious discourse” and “non-serious usage” of such language.

The changes also remove bans on hate speech targeting protected classes, including race, gender, and disability.

LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD condemned the policy, accusing Meta of enabling anti-LGBTQ hate for profit.

These updates are part of broader moderation changes as Meta aligns itself with Donald Trump’s administration.

      Americans and this stupid broad “freedom of speech” nonsense.

      You should not be able to attack a marginalised group of society. And it is not the same as calling right wingers names.
