This extraordinarily late, reluctant action is just one more example of Big Tech's extraordinary hwel dragging with respect to protectimg queer people and other despised minorities.

Twitter and Facebook both routinely allow content and conduct that comes right up to the line of what Kiwi Farms does.

All summer long accounts like Libs of TikTok directed violence against LGBTQ people and against institutions that affirm or support LGBTQ people. Getting Facebook and Twitter to take action has been impossible, with a couple very limited exceptions.

Any queer people wondering if we're going to have support from major societal institutions if the current anti-LGBTQ backlash gets worse should take note.

Big Tech will absolutely put profits over our humanity and safety. They are doing that now, and they will continue to do that.

Big Tech may have something of a leftist reputation, but people who believe they have remained on the side of the angels are not paying attention.
