Advocacy group asks Meta to add Facebook relationship options for non-monogamists
An advocacy group is calling on Meta to allow Facebook users to list more than one romantic partner in their profiles. In athe Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy sent to the social media giant on Thursday, it said the current design of Facebook’s relationship status feature is “exclusionary” towards people who practice ethical non-monogamy. The group has asked that Meta allow users to tag all their romantic partners.
“At best, this restriction perpetuates the erasure and marginalization of non-monogamous relationships; at worst, it harms non-monogamous users by perpetuating social stigmas around the validity and authenticity of their relationships,” OPEN said.the company is reviewing the letter and noted that Facebook already allows users to mention on their profile that they’re in an “open relationship” with one or more people.
