Public ConsultationMeta Seeking Public Comments On Their Moderation Policies Regarding TRANSGENDER Issues - DEADLINE 9/12
Posted September 4, 2024 by truthisnthate in Activism

Meta’s oversight board is soliciting public comments on their moderation policies around transgender issues. This is a pretty big step, given Meta’s “total silence” stance so far. The TRAs are bound to be commenting in force.

Please consider making a submission and spread the word. Submissions close on Sep 12. Anyone can comment and you can opt out of having your name published.

Here is the link to the announcement on Neowin: https://www.neowin.net/amp/metas-supreme-court-to-investigate-how-it-moderates-debate-around-gender-identity/?s=31

Here is the link to the public comments portal: https://www.oversightboard.com/pc/gender-identity-debate-videos/

Below is an example of a submission:

Civil debate about transgender issues should never be classed as “hate speech.” Open discourse on the topic is of particular importance to women’s rights, gay rights, medical research, and the ethics of pediatric medicine. The debate cuts across political lines and is of enormous interest all over the world. The near-total silence (until very recently) on transgender issues in the MSM has been incredibly harmful and I hope Meta will not collude in keeping that silence going.
