The Trap of Digital Love
Dating apps, designed to connect people, are being weaponized for sinister purposes in Egypt. Police are reportedly creating fake profiles to lure unsuspecting LGBT individuals into traps1. From my experience, this misuse of technology is a gross violation of human rights and privacy.
The Impact on the LGBT Community
The fear of being targeted has forced many LGBT individuals to abandon dating apps, leading to isolation and a lack of connection2. This has had a profound impact on the mental health of the community. It's important to remember that everyone deserves the right to love and be loved, without fear.
