The systematic erasure of queer accounts by Big Tech is being used as a tool in the global rise of authoritarianism. This is structural. It is not accidental.
15+ queer accounts, including personal accounts, were banned by Instagram in the last week.
These accounts were a fundamental artery of queer communities in major European cities, including Amsterdam and London.
