In a recent appearance on MSNBC, Ellis clarified her previous statement that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/businessman-kevin-oleary-defends-free-speech-online\/\" title=\"Businessman Kevin O\u2019Leary defends free speech online\">social media platform<\/a> is &#8220;the most dangerous platform for LGBTQ people.&#8221; This comes after GLAAD gave Twitter a Social Media Safety Index (SMSI) score of 33% in 2023, citing an &#8220;alarming and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/glaad-ceo-says-twitter-is-now-a-weapon-against-the-lgbtq-community\/\" title=\"GLAAD CEO claims Twitter is now a threat to LGBTQ+ community.\">steadily growing epidemic<\/a> of anti-LGBTQ hate and disinformation&#8221; on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>While other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platforms<\/a> like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube also fell short, with none of them reaching a score higher than 65%, Twitter was the only platform that saw a decrease in its score compared to the previous year. GLAAD has been publishing SMSI scores for three years now.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;What is really sad here is that Twitter actually used to be the leader,&#8221; Ellis expressed. &#8220;We sat on their trust and safety council. But Elon Musk has turned Twitter into a weapon against the LGBTQ community.
