Startups report losing revenue, credibility, and reach; public access to vital health information is being obstructed; and deep-rooted taboos are being inadvertently reinforced by tech.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>References to other things that we discussed:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.talkswithdrsesay.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.talkswithdrsesay.com/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/drnighatarif/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/drnighatarif/?hl=en</a></p><p><a href=\"https://thelowdown.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://thelowdown.com/</a></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Leo Tyson"}
