Meta will allow billions of users of its social networks Facebook, Instagram and Threads to accuse people of mental illness based on their sexual or gender identity.
«We allow accusations of mental illness or abnormality if they are based on gender or sexual orientation, taking into account political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality, as well as the common frivolous use of words like ‘queer,’» the company’s new rules, quoted by NBC News, state.
The long list of changes regarding hate speech includes the repeal of rules that prohibit insults about a person’s appearance based on race, ethnic and national origin, disability, religion, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, and serious illness.
In addition, CNN, in turn, provides other examples from the new content moderation rules on Meta social networks.
Yes, social media users will now be allowed, for example, to refer to women as «household objects or property,» and transgender or non-binary people simply in the neuter gender as «it.»
NBC News reminds us that Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg mentioned the «recent election» as a «cultural tipping point to redefine the priority of language» on his platforms.
After the new content moderation rules on Meta’s platforms were first announced, many global media outlets wrote that Mark Zuckerberg was adapting the policies of his social networks to the views of top Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump.
Recall that a Washington Post cartoonist recently depicted Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Altman kneeling while handing bags of cash to a statue of Donald Trump, but then resigned.
