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.

GLAAD found that platforms' enforcement policies and anti-DEI policies are threatening LGBTQ safety.

Elon Musk's X is still the most unsafe social media platform for LGBTQ+ users, according to a new report by GLAAD. The organization's annual Social Media Safety Index (SMSI) and its "platform scorecards" grade social media sites on LGBTQ safety, privacy, and expression. GLAAD assessed external-facing policies on diversity programs, content moderation, user suppression, and enforcement mechanisms, among other metrics, for six major companies: Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, and TikTok.X scored just 29 points out of a possible 100. No platform has ever scored above a 67.
