Jordan: Draft Cybercrime Law Heralds Alarming Oppression of Freedoms
SMEX, along with the Jordan Open Source Association (JOSA), Access Now, and 19 other organizations, call on the Jordanian government to retract a proposed cybercrimes law currently under consideration in parliament. We are concerned the bill would have detrimental effects on free speech online, compromise the right to anonymity for internet users, and grant new powers to regulate social media, potentially leading to an alarming increase in online censorship.
