Mozfest Panel Discussion
 
 
 
 

Hi there,

Celebrate Pride Month with us this June by tuning in to our panel discussion about the internet and the LGBTQIA+ community on June 21 at 11am ET.

Watch live on Mozilla's Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

Technology further codifies biases and categorizes personhood, not simply a reflection of the society that creates it but possibly an imperfect and flawed mirror of it. That has resulted in software and AI systems that are at odds with fluidity, that endanger the privacy and security of the LGBTQIA+ community, and often infer heteronormative assumptions and forces binary gender classifications.

How does the queer community change this technology landscape? And what does it mean to queer the landscape, co-opt these systems, and create safe, online spaces? And accordingly, how has technology made a global LGBTQIA+ movement possible?
