A survey of 7,000 Facebook, Instagram, and Threads users found that most people feel less safe on Meta’s platforms since CEO Mark Zuckerberg abandoned fact-checking in January.
The report, written by Jenna Sherman at UltraViolet, Ana Clara-Toledo at All Out, and Leanna Garfield at GLAAD, surveyed people who belong to what Meta refers to as “protected characteristic groups,” which include “people targeted based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, or serious disease,” the report says. The average age of respondents was 50 years, and the survey asked them to respond to questions including “How well do you feel Meta’s new policy changes protect you and all users from being exposed to or targeted by harmful content?” and “Have you been the target of any form of harmful content on any Meta platform since January 2025?”
