Dawn Images reports that during the high-profile Islamabad Peace Talks between the US and Iran, some Pakistanis chose to focus not on the historic diplomacy but on journalist Gharidah Farooqi and what she was wearing while covering the event. The newspaper condemned the public backlash saying that sexist and regressive remarks were made against the journalist which were completely uncalled for. The piece notes that such harassment is not new with other journalists being subjected to the same harassment in male-dominated fields in the past. Most seriously, the article highlights privacy violations and concerns around AI-enabled harassment, where a photo taken without consent was allegedly used to create inappropriate content.
