Our plans / The Legal Aid and Justice Plan

Cyber Justice, Digital Rights, & Algorithmic Fairness

Pillar 9 of 50 · Technology and information · Planned

9.1Criminalizing Cyber-Bullying and Digital Harassment

The internet has become a weaponized space where targeted harassment, doxxing, and organized cyber-bullying drive victims to severe depression and suicide. We will push for stringent cyber-harassment laws that strip the veil of digital anonymity from abusers. Takweyat will provide rapid legal assistance to trace, identify, and prosecute individuals who engage in coordinated campaigns to destroy the mental health and reputations of innocent users.

9.2Protection Against Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (Revenge Porn)

The distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery is a digital form of extreme sexual violence designed to publicly humiliate and extort victims, disproportionately affecting women. We will deploy specialized cyber-lawyers to immediately legally compel websites and search engines to scrub the content globally. We will pursue maximum criminal sentences against perpetrators, treating the act as a severe, life-altering sexual offense.

9.3Fighting Financial Cyber-Fraud and Digital Scams

Citizens are daily robbed of their life savings through sophisticated phishing scams, fraudulent investment apps, and digital banking theft. We will hold the banking and telecommunications sectors legally liable for failing to secure their networks and protect their customers. Takweyat will force financial institutions to refund stolen money to victims when the fraud was facilitated by the institutionʼs weak digital security protocols.

9.4Establishing the Legal Right to Be Forgotten

Individuals should not be permanently haunted by past mistakes, acquitted charges, or outdated personal information indexed permanently on search engines. Following European precedents, we will fight for the legal "Right to Be Forgotten." We will legally compel tech giants like Google and Meta to delete damaging, irrelevant, or obsolete personal data, allowing citizens the fundamental right to rehabilitate their digital identities and start fresh.

9.5Holding ISPs Accountable for Data Breaches

When corporations and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) suffer data breaches, they expose the private lives, locations, and financial data of millions to the dark web, usually walking away with a mere slap on the wrist. We will file massive class-action lawsuits holding corporate executives personally liable for negligence in cybersecurity. We will legally mandate exorbitant automatic compensation for every user whose data is compromised.

9.6Combating State Internet Shutdowns and Censorship

Authoritarian states frequently cut off internet access to entire regions to suppress political dissent, hide human rights abuses, and cripple local economies. We will file high-level constitutional petitions challenging arbitrary internet blackouts, arguing that access to the internet is a fundamental, modern human right tied directly to freedom of speech, education, and livelihood. We will sue the state for the massive economic damages caused by these shutdowns.

9.7Algorithmic Discrimination in Employment and Lending

Corporations increasingly rely on hidden AI algorithms to screen resumes, approve loans, and dictate insurance premiums, resulting in silent, automated discrimination against marginalized groups. Takweyat will legally demand the complete transparency and auditing of these algorithms. We will file civil rights lawsuits against companies whose AI systems demonstrate bias based on race, gender, zip code, or educational background.

9.8Regulating Deepfakes, AI Forgery, and Identity Theft

The unchecked rise of generative AI allows malicious actors to create hyper-realistic "deepfakes" to frame individuals for crimes, ruin reputations, or bypass biometric security. We will draft pioneering digital legislation making the creation and distribution of malicious deepfakes a severe felony. We will hold AI developers legally responsible for embedding unalterable watermarks in all AI-generated content to protect the concept of objective digital truth.

9.9The Legal Rights of Digital Creators and Content Ownership

Independent artists, writers, and digital creators constantly have their work stolen by massive media corporations and AI scraping bots without compensation. We will aggressively defend the intellectual property of independent creators in the digital sphere. Takweyat will file lawsuits against AI companies that scrape copyrighted materials without consent, ensuring that the original human creators receive massive financial royalties for their work.

9.10Enforcing Child-Safe Digital Environments and Parental Controls

Tech companies deliberately design highly addictive algorithms targeting children, prioritizing engagement over mental health. We will legally mandate that all social media and gaming platforms default to maximum privacy and safety settings for minors. We will sue corporations that bypass parental controls, illegally harvest children's data, or expose minors to explicit, violent, or psychologically damaging content in the pursuit of ad revenue.
