Policy Discussion
In honor of Pride Month, we’re revisiting this critical discussion on privacy challenges in LGBTQ+ communities. We’re excited to feature a special segment, “Examining the Privacy of Verbal Communications in Disenfranchised Communities,” a previous webinar hosted by our Amplify Diverse Talent Working Group.
This insightful session delves into the unique risks faced by LGBTQ+ and other disenfranchised communities regarding verbal communication privacy breaches and explores how small app developers can help mitigate these harms.
Note: Matt Schwartz is a former policy associate at Innovators Network Foundation. The information here is presented in his capacity as a privacy policy expert.
