The new Threads app from Mark Zuckerberg has come under fire for allegedly restricting users who disagree with gender ideology and making false claims.
Since the app’s launch earlier last week, there has been outrage on Twitter, a competitor network, over reports that content challenging gender ideas is being removed.
In order to compete with Twitter, Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, created Threads, a text-based social media site with very comparable features.
Chaya Raichik established Libs of TikTok, a platform that gained popularity by mockingly sharing liberal content from TikTok on Twitter.
The initial posting, which was made about three in the morning on July 7, stated: “Non-binary isn’t real,” according to a notification that Raichik published.
The thread had been deleted by 11am, and a warning had been posted which read: “Your post on Threads goes against our Community Guidelines on hate speech or symbols.”
It was written next to several other messages, such as “Men can’t get pregnant” and “Men can’t breastfeed.”
Raichik didn’t specify whether the posts were taken down or whether they were published with the goal of pushing the boundaries of Threads’ censorship.
She expressed dissatisfaction that, although taking action against her because to her post, Threads did not deal with her receiving death threats.
According to a screenshot posted by the well-known conservative Twitter account Libs of TikTok, Meta had removed one of its conversations discrediting non-binary gender identity because it violated “our guidelines on hate speech.”
‘Within hours of joining I got death threats, had people sharing my address, and was told to kill myself,’ Raichik told the Daily Caller.
‘None of those posts were removed despite me reporting them. Only my post stating a fact was removed.’ She added.
She stated that Threads failing to do so was double standards and goes against Zuckerberg’s initial commitment to making Threads a ‘friendly place’.
