Caraballo has been outspoken about what she sees as anti-LGBTQ legislation and policies, rhetoric from prominent individuals, and inadequate social media moderation surrounding the topic. In March 2022, she criticized the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act, also nicknamed the "Don't Say Gay" bill by its opponents, which was introduced in January 2022 and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis the following March. Caraballo described the bill as "an unprecedented attack on LGBTQ rights", predicting it would likely lead to a serious reversal in policies protecting LGBTQ rights in schools. Later that year, Caraballo was critical of Elon Musk's actions after acquiring Twitter, including his decision to reinstate accounts that had been suspended for threats, harassment, or misinformation.

Social media activity In a tweet published on December 29, 2022, Caraballo suggested that the arrest of American-British social media personality Andrew Tate in Romania on human trafficking charges was facilitated by a video he posted online revealing his location by showing the name of a Romanian pizzeria. Caraballo's tweet quickly went viral and led to the proliferation of the rumor online. A spokesperson for Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism said the rumor was "funny" but untrue.

In March 2024, Caraballo was permanently suspended from Twitter after she posted about the alleged real identity of Neo-Nazi cartoonist StoneToss and changed her username to maximize the visibility of the disclosed information. Caraballo's account was reinstated shortly afterwards, but remained locked for seven days.

The day before the publication of the UK National Health Service's Cass Review on gender services for children and young people in April 2024, Caraballo tweeted that the report was holding transgender health care to an "impossible standard" and had "disregarded nearly all studies" since double-blind controlled studies could not be used to evaluate the effects of transgender hormone therapy. Hilary Cass, the lead author of the report, disputed Caraballo's claims about the report, and said that 60 out of the 103 studies reviewed were used in making the report's conclusions.
