How do design choices shape the way we experience harm online?
From the Integrity Institute’s deep dive into the architecture of harm to @SFCG_’s exploration of Harms by Design in West Africa, #OSF25 Day Zero opened powerful conversations about responsibility, culture, and community safety in digital spaces.
Participants examined how profit-driven platform designs amplify bias, disinformation, or exploitation; and what a safer, cohesion-fostering design could look like.

It's 4:47pm: We’ve raised nearly KSh 420,000 so far 🙌🏾 enough to bring several of our brothers & sisters home.
Frankline is now free after days behind bars KSH bail of Ksh 50,000 (and 2 others)
Yasmin is still in remand, facing an outrageous bail of Ksh 300,000. We are processing more 🙏🏾
Your generosity is changing lives, but stories are still pouring in from across the country. We will keep updating as we verify each case.
Thank you, Kenyans, for standing in solidarity. 🇰🇪❤️
Let’s keep going until no one is left behind.

“We are creating one of the first regional lexicons of gendered hate speech – a template for other regions to follow. By shining a light on hateful language, we strip it of its power.” — Director Flaviana Mayutta Charles, at the @ICGLR_LMRC workshop in Nairobi. #HateSpeechLexiconGLR

Online hate speech is silencing women in politics & public life. In Kenya, Techonology Facilitated-GBV thrives on Facebook & WhatsApp, with threats & harassment pushing women offline. We need stronger laws, safer platforms & support systems.
“Hate speech fuels conflict ⚠️ and silences women 🙅🏽♀️. It resurfaces around elections 🗳️ and thrives even in peace 🕊️" Says the @ICGLR_LMRC Regional Director @jpkimonyo
