Digital Rights, Online Safety, and the Voice of the Individual

We live in a time where digital content moves faster than fact, and where reputations can be shaped—or shattered—by what appears online. I’ve learned firsthand how damaging online misinformation and unfair content can be, and why standing up for your rights in the digital world matters more than ever.

My work is focused on protecting the digital rights of individuals, especially those who are misrepresented, misquoted, or harassed online. Everyone deserves the right to privacy, fairness, and the ability to have false or harmful content removed when it no longer reflects the truth—or never did.

I actively support projects and conversations around safe online spaces, responsible media, and GDPR protections like the right to erasure. I believe platforms and publishers must be held accountable when content causes real-world harm, especially to people with fewer resources to fight back.

There’s more to be done. If you're facing digital harm or want to better understand your rights online, I encourage you to reach out. My mission is simple: protect people from digital injustice, one step at a time.
