Ok I gotta be honest, it is pretty hilarious that his own company is just like

right so he’ll just go distract himself with rockets or Nazis or tunnels or whatever for a bit, and then we can just turn some of that important shit he didn’t like back on.

Dude thinks he’s Emperor of Man but he’s being managed and handled by his own company (that he himself gutted) lmao

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Last April, Twitter quietly edited its abuse and harassment policy to no longer explicitly ban deadnaming (calling transgender people by a former name) or misgendering (purposely using non-preferred pronouns or gender labels).

While Olson sees the changes at X as positive, the company's decision to reduce the visibility of attacks—rather than explicitly ban them—is still viewed by GLAAD as a step back from the stronger protections that users enjoyed on Twitter for years.

On Thursday, GLAAD released a report asking all social media platforms to explicitly recognize targeted misgendering and deadnaming as hate speech.

As with X, rather than proactively removing offending posts, Meta's platforms provide paths for users to self-report misgendering and deadnaming.

For years, GLAAD has focused its efforts to expand online LGBTQ+ protections on companies operating the biggest platforms—Meta, Google, and Twitter/X.

"The health and well-being of our community are our top priority, and we believe we have both a responsibility and a meaningful opportunity to support Snapchatters by maintaining a safe space for them to communicate with their friends," a Snap spokesperson told Ars.
