    Elon Musk’s “Free Speech” Twitter policies could harm LGBTQ+ communities

    The Washington Blade published an article by LGBT Tech’s Carlos Gutierrez discussing Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and the risks it could pose to the LGBTQ+ community.

    The LGBT Technology Institute (LGBT Tech) strives to serve LGBT communities through education, programs, partnerships and research.

    Twitter is billed as a social platform for everyone, but Musk’s approach – or lack thereof – to censorship and “free speech” has many advocates voicing concern about the consequences of reducing or removing content moderation on the platform, potentially making Twitter a platform rife with disinformation, misinformation, and hate speech targeted at minority and marginalized communities such as the LGBTQ+ community.
