Meta Maintains Controversial Hate Speech TermSince January 2024, Meta resists removing offensive language despite the Oversight Board’s multiple recommendations to improve LGBTQIA+ protections.
- Meta informed the Oversight Board it will not remove the term 'transgenderism' from its hate speech policies.
- The policy still permits claims that LGBTQ individuals are mentally ill under political and religious discourse.
- Human rights organizations emphasize that this terminology fosters discrimination and dehumanization of transgender people.
- Meta only vaguely considers updates and rejects most of the board’s proposals aimed at better protecting LGBTQIA+ users.
For its rules to have legitimacy, Meta must seek to frame its content policies neutrally.— The Oversight Board expressed concern about the use of the term 'transgenderism' in Meta's policies.
