Washington Blade recently featured LGBT Tech in a powerful exploration of how book bans and internet restrictions are increasingly aligned, targeting LGBTQ+ voices and knowledge access across the country. The article, titled “From LGBTQ book bans to internet bans: A bipartisan attack on knowledge”, positions LGBT Tech’s research as critical to understanding the broader dynamics of censorship and information suppression in the digital age.
In the piece, LGBT Tech’s analysis underscores how legislative trends, particularly vague definitions of “harmful” content, threaten not only books but also internet access to essential LGBTQ+ resources. By drawing connections between physical book censorship and digital content filtering, LGBT Tech provides key insight into how policies designed to restrict literature may also reinforce online erasure.
