"Lawmakers and regulators around the world have been prolific with passing
legislation restricting freedom of expression and privacy for LGBTQ+
individuals and fueling offline intolerance. Online platforms are also
complicit in this pervasive ecosystem by censoring pro-LGBTQ+ speech, forcing
LGBTQ+ individuals to self-censor or turn to VPNs to avoid being profiled,
harassed, doxxed, or criminally prosecuted.

The fight for the safety and rights of LGBTQ+ people is not just a fight for
visibility online (and offline)—it’s a fight for survival. This International
Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, we’re sharing four essential
tips for LGBTQ+ people to stay safe online."
