Description

As LGBTQIA+ communities, we face growing digital hostility, misinformation, disinformation and other harmful forms of manipulated content. This session explores technology's complex impact on LGBTQIA+ communities through three expert presentations.

• Masuma Shahid analyzes how AI reinforces biases, creates discrimination, and leads to harm, while proposing ethics frameworks to empower LGBTQIA+ individuals.
• Dragana Todorovic exposes tech-facilitated violence against LBTQ+ women, revealing how misogyny and LBTQ-phobia drive online harassment, surveillance, doxxing, and coordinated abuse campaigns. 
• Diogo Vieira da Silva provides a framework for responding to digital hostility, exploring how manipulated content circulates and can be countered.
