GLAAD ranks Twitter as worst for LGBTQ+ safety among major social media platforms.

All major social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter, are failing to protect LGBTQ+ users from hate speech and harassment, according to GLAAD's annual Social Media Safety Index. Twitter was found to be the worst platform for LGBTQ+ safety, with its scores declining since last year. The drastic staffing cuts made by Elon Musk, who acquired Twitter last October, have led to a flood of problematic tweets, including hate speech, graphic material, and harassment. GLAAD and other organizations advocating for marginalized groups note that unfettered freedom of speech can infringe on the free speech of others.
