Abstrakt: In the book review titled "Book Review: Justin Ellis, Representation, Resistance and the Digiqueer: Fighting for Recognition in Technocratic Times," the author discusses Justin Ellis's monograph on "digiqueer criminology." This field explores the intersection of digital and queer criminology and examines the impact of new digital technologies on LGBTQ+ rights and recognition. The review highlights the increase in hate crimes against LGBTQ+ communities, particularly through online platforms, and the emergence of a hybrid media ecosystem that amplifies disinformation and misinformation. Ellis's book analyzes the misinformation/disinformation against LGBTQ+ communities as a form of information warfare and explores strategies and tactics to combat representational harms. The review concludes by recommending the book as a valuable resource for understanding the persistence of bigotry and hatred against LGBTQ+ communities. [Extracted from the article]
