Social Media Platform Accountability: LGBTQ+ Edition

This event took place on Saturday, March 12, 2022 at 10:00 AM UTC.

From algorithms and AI to content moderation and data privacy — the policies and practices of social media platforms have enormous impacts on us all. GLAAD’s inaugural Social Media Safety Index (SMSI) report findings indicate that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok are effectively unsafe for LGBTQ users across all of these categories. How can these companies be held accountable and what are some of the recommendations being put forth by leaders in the field? Join SMSI program director Jenni Olson and Media Matters for America senior strategist (and SMSI advisory committee member) Brennan Suen to learn about GLAAD's ongoing advocacy work and engage in discussion about the roadmap forward, including how we can all be a part of creating safer spaces for LGBTQ people online. Venue: Hilton Austin Downtown Salon A Speakers: Jenni Olson - Brennan Suen - Alok Vaid-Menon
