The 2023 cybercrime law in Jordan has been misused to target LGBTQ+ individuals, journalists, and human rights defenders, demonstrating a dangerous assault on freedom of expression.
An open letter from EFF and other organizations calls for the repeal of Jordan's cybercrime law, labeling it as a tool for suppressing dissent and targeting marginalized groups.
The overbroad definitions in Jordan's law threaten civil liberties, allowing authorities to classify various forms of speech as 'pornographic' or harmful to public morals.
International bodies like the U.N. express ongoing concerns that cybercrime laws are employed as instruments for human rights abuses, particularly against critics of the state.
