Celebrities demand Big Tech crack down on 'hate, harassment, and malicious anti-LGBTQ disinformation'

A cadre of celebrities is apparently calling upon Big Tech companies to censor content that opposes the LGBT agenda, such as material that rejects the idea that minors should have access to gender-transition measures.

"There has been a massive systemic failure to prohibit hate, harassment, and malicious anti-LGBTQ disinformation on your platforms and it must be addressed," a letter signed by several celebrities demands. "We speak together with one voice to demand that your companies create and enforce stronger content and ad policies to directly confront the content that is causing online and offline harm to transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people.

"Despite the fact that every leading medical and psychological association affirms the safety and necessity of gender affirming healthcare for trans people, including youth, inflammatory disinformation falsely asserting that this healthcare is dangerous is allowed to fester on your platforms because it drives clicks and profit. Trans youth and their families and care providers are being endangered by your negligence, causing many families to flee their homes," the letter claims.

Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Haley Baldwin Bieber, Camila Cabello, Gabrielle Union-Wade, Alyssa Milano, Elliot Page, and Demi Lovato are some of the celebrities who signed the letter, which is directed at leaders at Twitter, Meta, YouTube, and TikTok.

The pro-LGBT advocacy groups GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign are behind the letter.

The signers pressed tech giants to take action against content that involves so-called "misgendering," a term that radical leftist gender-ideology proponents use when someone refers to a transgender person according to their biological sex rather than their self-declared gender identity.

"Targeted misgendering and deadnaming of trans and nonbinary people is a widespread mode of hate speech across all platforms, utilized to bully and harass prominent public figures while simultaneously expressing hatred and contempt for trans and non-binary people in general," the letter declares.
