GLAAD’s Social Media Safety Index evaluates major social media platforms on LGBTQ safety, privacy, and expression using external-facing policies and enforcement mechanisms. The assessment covers diversity programs, content moderation, user suppression, and related transparency metrics across Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, and TikTok. X received 29 points out of 100, the lowest score among the platforms, and no platform achieved a passing grade. GLAAD found all platforms were marked by anti-LGBTQ hate, harassment, and disinformation, alongside nationwide rollbacks of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts. YouTube’s score dropped by 11 points, while TikTok’s score did not decrease but still scored 56/100. GLAAD also cited updated LGBTQ policies from Meta and YouTube, including Meta’s overhaul of its Hateful Conduct policy.
"Scores are based on corporate transparency metrics established by global digital human rights organization Ranking Digital Rights and 14 LGBTQ-specific online indicators, GLAAD explained. GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis wrote: "Leading social media companies today do not meet basic best practices in content moderation, transparency, data privacy, and workforce diversity - and continuously refuse to meaningfully prioritize the safety, privacy, and expression""
