    From the article: "Meta’s changes to its Hateful Conduct policies explicitly allow for previously prohibited rhetoric targeting LGBTQ+ people, women, and immigrants. The new guidelines now permit language that excludes or insults individuals based on sex, gender, or sexual orientation, citing topics like transgender rights, immigration, and homosexuality as justifications for social discourse. Joel Kaplan, Meta’s chief global affairs officer, defended the changes, writing, “We’re getting rid of a number of restrictions on topics like immigration, gender identity and gender that are the subject of frequent political discourse and debate. It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms.” Meta now claims its policies are “designed to allow room for these types of speech,” despite the potential harm such rhetoric poses to vulnerable communities."

    From the article: "The new guidelines around hate speech are part of Meta’s broader major changes regarding how it moderates online speech on its platforms. On Tuesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said it will replace its fact-checking program, which has relied on trusted organizational partners, with a community-driven system similar to X’s Community Notes. X’s system allows users to submit suggested “notes” on other people’s content, and then certain users vote on whether or not the notes are publicly displayed. Zuckerberg cited “recent elections” and “a cultural tipping point towards, once again, prioritizing speech.”

    From the article: "Discourse surrounding queer resistance, resilience, and liberation is overwhelmingly focused on the Western world. Consequently, coverage of international queer stories often lacks cultural competency and awareness, and we impose Western belief systems and logics upon LGBTQ+ victims around the world. In reality, though, many global institutions of LGBTQ+ discrimination are remnants of European and colonial justice systems. A nuanced and comprehensive approach to queer liberation, thus, must shine a light on the formidable courage of queer activists worldwide, amplify their voices sincerely and authentically, and recognize the uniqueness of their experience."
