PapaJohn321: This article is so informative and concerning. It is predominately digital evidence gained through illegal device searches that facilitates the persecution of queer identity, from investigation through trial and sentencing. So unsettling! March 9th, 2022 6:58pm

MeditationMan11: When will the world accept people for who they are? Knowing that law enforcement in Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia have appropriated and weaponized technology to prosecute queerness is disturbing. It must be stopped! March 27th, 2022 5:45pm

CandyCrusher: I agree with Afsaneh's policy recommendations that companies can play an important role in protecting queer users by upholding their international human rights duties to their users, protecting the essential needs of those most impacted by their tools, and creating better tech for all.
