Standing Up for LGBTQ+ Digital Safety this International Day Against Homophobia
Briefly

Lawmakers worldwide are increasingly adopting legislation that undermines the freedom of expression and privacy for LGBTQ+ individuals, contributing to a climate of intolerance. Online platforms further complicate this issue by censoring pro-LGBTQ+ speech, resulting in self-censorship among LGBTQ+ individuals. On this International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, it's critical to highlight protective measures including using secure messaging services and being mindful of social media content, which can have tangible impacts on individuals’ safety and the lives of others around them.
The fight for the safety and rights of LGBTQ+ individuals is increasingly crucial as legislation restricts their freedom and online platforms contribute to their vulnerability.
Utilize encrypted messaging services to preserve your privacy and consider the potential offline consequences of your social media interactions on those around you.
