Already from his electoral campaign (the first and the most recent), Donald Trump was characterized by end gender and diversity diversity policies. Different US personalities with a lot of media power were added. And it seems that social networks followed the steps.
According to the Meta transparency policy (Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp), the company points out that “We believe that people express themselves and connect with each other with greater freedom when they do not feel attacked by being who they are. Therefore, We do not allow hate behaviors on Facebook, Instagram or Threads”
In this section, goal establishes the norms that regulate which publications are allowed and those that are not tolerated because they are considered “direct attacks against people (not against concepts or institutions) by reason of What we call protected characteristics: race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity and serious illness”, As explained on the web.
But the norms were not changed with the arrival of Trump, in fact, in the January 2025 update They are already part of it, although they are not in which It was published in February 2024. In the most recent version, in the hate behavior section, you can read that Do not publish insults, including those linked to “CMental Aracteristics, such as accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity and mental illnessand comparisons without fundamentals with groups with protected characteristics based on their inherent intellectual capacity ”.
So far, all correct, however, the following paragraph leaves no doubt: “We do allow the accusations of mental illness or abnormality when they are based on gender or sexual orientationgiven political and religious discourse on transsexuality and homosexuality. ”Without a doubt a controversial measure for those who fight against harassment or bullying.
And there is more. In the section on content in which a person or a group of people are attacked for their protected characteristics (in writing or visual) by resorting to economic exclusion, Meta states that it is not allowed to “deny access to economic benefits and limit participation in the labor market. We do allow the content to be advocated by the limitations of access to jobs in military bodies, security forces and bodies, and the education sector based on gender. We also allow this type of content based on sexual orientation, when it is based on religious beliefs. ”
In a nutshell, It is allowed to say that a homosexual is a mentally ill And it is also allowed to support limited access to jobs, such as educational or security forces, depending on gender.
