"For months, Meta has been restricting content with LGBTQ-related hashtags from search and discovery under its 'sensitive content' policy aimed at restricting 'sexually suggestive content.'”

"Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags including #lesbian, #bisexual, #gay, #trans, #queer, #nonbinary, #pansexial, #transwomen, #Tgirl, #Tboy, #Tgirlsarebeautiful, #bisexualpride, #lesbianpride, and dozens of others were hidden for any users who had their sensitive content filter turned on. Teenagers have the sensitive content filter turned on by default."
"When teen users attempted to search LGBTQ terms they were shown a blank page and a prompt from Meta to review the platform's 'sensitive content' restrictions, which discuss why the app hides 'sexually explicit' content.
Meta reversed the restrictions on LGBTQ search terms after User Mag reached out for comment, saying that it was in error."
