#WrapPro: Since the November election #MarkZuckerberg has been firmly in #DonaldTrump’s corner, so it comes as no surprise that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and Threads, has quietly switched sides when it comes to anti-trans speech on its platforms. Last week, the company’s Oversight Board upheld an earlier decision to allow anti-trans speech, such as the previously banned slur “tranny,” a move that rang alarm bells at GLAAD and among other LGBTQ activists and actors. (Under #ElonMusk’s guidance, X removed protections around anti-trans language two years ago.) In late April, the board reviewed rulings on two videos, one on Facebook in which a transgender woman is confronted for using the women’s bathroom at a university, which featured the caption “male student who thinks he’s a girl.” #Meta found no violations. 🔗 link in bio for more on this story. #or
