250 Hollywood stars and celebrities from the music and film industries signed open letter calling on major tech companies to censor anti-transgender "harassment"

250 Hollywood stars and celebrities from the music and film industries have signed an open letter calling on major tech companies to censor anyone who doesn't fit the transgender agenda, including advocating gender reassignment surgery on children
The letter was sent to the CEOs of Meta (the company that owns Facebook and Instagram), YouTube, TikTok and Twitter by GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and was signed by hundreds of famous names, including Amy Schumer, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Jamie Lee Curtis, Judd Apatow, Patrick Stewart and many more.
It states that there is a "massive systemic failure to prohibit hate, harassment and malicious anti-LGBT misinformation on your platforms and these must be addressed", citing "dangerous posts (both content and advertising) targeting transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming people.
"This misinformation, inadequately moderated on your platforms, plays a huge role in the sharp increase in real anti-transgender violence," the letter continued.
“Your policies and related enforcement are inadequate when it comes to mitigating harmful and dangerous anti-LGBTQ content. You must urgently take action to protect trans and LGBT users on your platforms," the authors of the letter wrote.
They want to know what tech companies will do to address "content that spreads malicious lies and misinformation about medically necessary health care for transgender youth."
The letter states that "concrete mitigations to such misinformation (such as measures taken during the election and the Covid pandemic) should be developed".
In effect, Hollywood celebrities want to censor anyone who does not advocate the removal of genitalia and sterilization of children.
Meanwhile, a new survey by Summit Ministries and McLaughlin & Associates found that 61% of US respondents believe that exposing children to transgenderism, drag shows and LGBTQ+ topics hinders their emotional and psychological development.
The survey also found that 63% of respondents believed that those advocating exposing children to these issues were motivated solely by a desire to push a specific cultural agenda.
Another survey found that nearly three-quarters (73%) want businesses to remain neutral on political and cultural issues, including LGBTQ+, with just over half saying they support boycotting companies that aggressively sell that agenda.
These figures coincide with another survey carried out by The Trafalgar Group in partnership with the Convention for States Action, which found that 62% wanted companies to remain neutral during Pride Month, and 41% said they had taken part in the boycott of companies supporting the so-called progressive or woke-campaigns.
