For decades, Poland’s LGBTI community has struggled with systemic discrimination. Hostile and stigmatizing rhetoric against LGBTI people, including by high-level politicians has become commonplace. In 2022, Amnesty International found compelling evidence of how this rhetoric translated into violence against the community. Against this backdrop, X became awash with content advocating hatred that constituted incitement to violence, hostility or discrimination against LGBTI people, amounting to technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TfGBV) and entailing a range of human rights harms. The proliferation of these posts on the platform enabled an environment in which advocating hatred towards LGBTI people became increasingly normalized and socially acceptable.
