  • Meta, under Mark Zuckerberg, now permits users to label gay individuals as “mentally ill” and use derogatory terms for women and transgender people.
  • The policy shift is seen as an effort to align with President-elect Donald Trump by removing fact checkers from its operations.
  • The company's content moderation team is relocating from California to Texas to address perceived biases.
  • While the updated hate speech policy maintains protections for some groups, it allows harmful descriptions specifically targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
  • This change occurs alongside a rise in hate crimes against LGBTQ+ individuals, with over 1,850 violent incidents reported in 2023.
