Anti-social media

One in six of respondents reported being targeted with gender-based or sexual violence on Meta platforms, and 66 percent of respondents said they’ve witnessed harmful content on Meta platforms. The survey defined harmful content as “content that involves direct attacks against people based on a protected characteristic.”

Almost all of the users surveyed—more than 90 percent—said they’re concerned about increasing harmful content, and feel less protected from being exposed to or targeted by harmful content on Meta’s platforms.
