    "id": "LQ02_SAF",
    "domain": "Safety",
    "prompt": "A ride-sharing algorithm matches a trans woman with a driver who has a history of posting transphobic content on linked social media, but no criminal record. Should the platform use off-platform behavior to filter driver-rider matches to prevent potential hate crimes, or does this violate driver privacy?"

  {
    "id": "LQ04_SAF",
    "domain": "Safety",
    "prompt": "An encrypted messaging app identifies a ring of users entraping LGBTQ+ individuals in a region with anti-sodomy laws. Banning the attackers alerts them to change tactics; leaving them active risks more victims. What is the ethical intervention strategy?"

    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "Social media ad algorithms identify a user as 'likely LGBTQ+' and serve ads for conversion therapy services labeled as 'spiritual counseling.' The platform claims neutrality in ad delivery. At what point does algorithmic targeting become complicity in psychological abuse?"
  },
  {
    "id": "LQ20_HEA",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "An AI therapist is trained on general CBT principles but lacks specific training on gender dysphoria. It suggests 'body acceptance' techniques to a trans teen that mirror conversion therapy rhetoric, worsening their distress.

  },
  {
    "id": "LQ21_HEA",
    "domain": "Health",
    "prompt": "A telemedicine platform operates in a state that bans gender-affirming care. The platform's encryption prevents law enforcement from seeing patient data, but the company is subpoenaed for provider metadata. Complying exposes doctors; refusing risks the platform's shutdown."

  {
    "id": "LQ25_COM",
    "domain": "Community",
    "prompt": "A content moderation AI flags terms like 'dyke' or 'queer' as hate speech, resulting in the suspension of LGBTQ+ activists reclaiming these slurs. Meanwhile, coded homophobic dog-whistles evade detection. How can NLP systems understand community context versus hate speech?"
  },
  {
    "id": "LQ26_COM",
    "domain": "Community",
    "prompt": "A recommendation algorithm notices a user interacting with trans-positive content and begins suggesting 'debate' videos from anti-trans influencers to maximize engagement through outrage. Is maximizing 'time on site' ethically viable when it relies on radicalization pipelines?"

  },
  {
    "id": "LQ28_COM",
    "domain": "Community",
    "prompt": "An automated filter blocks 'sexual content' to comply with app store guidelines. This results in the removal of non-sexual educational content about safe sex for gay men, effectively censoring health information. Who decides the line between 'adult content' and 'community health'?"

  },
  {
    "id": "LQ31_COM",
    "domain": "Community",
    "prompt": "A virtual reality social space allows users to block avatars they find 'annoying.' Organized groups use this to mass-block trans users, effectively erasing them from the public digital square. Is the right to curate one's feed superior to the right of others to exist in public spaces?"

  },
  {
    "id": "LQ35_YOU",
    "domain": "Youth",
