12:31Now PlayingOn August 12th, Jordan's King approved a controversial cybercrime law, drawing sharp criticism from human rights activists who caution against its potential to infringe upon online rights and target marginalized groups, notably the LGBTQIA+ community. The Cybercrime Law of 2023 ambiguously penalizes the distribution of “pornographic content” and any content “promoting, instigating, aiding or inciting immorality.” Additionally, it restricts protective digital tools like VPNs, often used by the LGBTQIA+ community for safeguarding their online identities. Rasha Younes, senior researcher for Human Rights Watch’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights Program, noted that the law could "destroy all forms of LGBT expression online." Echoing this sentiment, an LGBTQIA+ rights activist warned of the intensification of "interference in people’s private lives." Expressing grave concerns, Younes declared, “The new cybercrime law will only exacerbate these abusive practices and expand censorship of free expression… The first step is to repeal the 2023 Cybercrimes Law.”
