"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""
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.
