Looking Ahead: My Long-Term Goals for Digital Reform and Public Integrity

As I continue advocating for fairness in the digital world, I’m often asked: “What’s next?” For me, the answer is clear — reform, education, and long-term impact. My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s given me a clear purpose: to help fix the broken systems that allow reputational harm, data misuse, and digital injustice to thrive.

My name is Calvin-Lee Hardie, and I’m committed to pushing for meaningful change in how online platforms, publishers, and regulators treat individuals. Everyone deserves to be seen accurately, to have control over their own image, and to move forward without being held hostage by outdated or misleading content.

In the long term, I aim to:

- Build an advocacy platform for people harmed by online misinformation and abuse

- Support legal reforms that strengthen the right to erasure and copyright protection

- Educate others — especially vulnerable individuals — on how to protect their digital identities

- Partner with ethical media voices to promote fairness, transparency, and responsible publishing

I also want to use my voice to show that no matter your past or what others say about you online, you have the right to shape your own future. That’s the real power of digital reform — giving people their narrative back.
