Heartbroken to see how deepfake technology can be weaponized to violate women's privacy. The fact that someone created a fake video of me naked is beyond disturbing. This is a reminder of the dangers of AI misuse. We must urgently address this issue to protect everyone's safety.
Regarding the #X ban, the excuse was that it was in the same vein as the US ban on #TikTo. Why copy and paste terrible parts of laws, why not look at the rule of law in the country we are copying and pasting laws from?" @nighatdad demands #AJCONF
Very humbled to meet @azaizamotaz9 albeit briefly ✊🏾
The Govt of Pakistan has repeatedly been urged by intl treaty bodies like CEDAW to take targeted measures to increase the number of women judges in the higher courts- yet conversations about the 'welfare and growth of the legal profession' happen without any female representation

On this "Girls in ICTs Day" we recognize young Pakistani girls studying in govt schools. Despite financial & societal hurdles, they're striving to access the internet & technology. Kudos to @DigitalRightsPK for reaching thousands of girls already. #GirlsInICTsDay2024 🌐👩💻
Digital Rights Foundation's Digital Citizenship Program, under the flagship project Hamara Internet Mehfooz Internet, is dedicated to empowering girls in public schools with the necessary skills and tools to ensure they remain safe online while navigating digital spaces.
Last year, DRF released five editions of our feminist e-magazine Digital 50.50, which covered a wide range of topics and sparked meaningful dialogue. You can read the articles here: digitalrightsfoundation.pk/digital-50-50/.
Shukriya Muhammed Taha! As our PM said, people like Taha sb, who showed 'extraordinary courage' during the Sydney attack, should be thanked. Delighted Taha can soon call Australia home for his selfless act – protecting people he had never met before. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
"Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes." --A new UN statement news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
Using AI-gen content, political parties can manipulate the narratives surrounding opposition leaders to favor their own agendas, resulting in information disorder. This is an issue that the Election Commission should have addressed prior to the Pakistani elections. @HamidMirPAK

All these political parties who took turns into making govts after Mosharraf era hardly made any effort to enact data protection law, after several drafts, none made it to the parliament. PPP, PMLn & PTI, all had opportunity but opted not to protect Pakistani citizens data.

X (Twitter) has been blocked in Pakistan for exactly two months today.
Today, the Board selected two new cases to examine Meta’s content moderation of AI-generated (deepfakes) explicit images of women. As part of our deliberation process, we're inviting people and organizations to submit public comments.
In March 2024, DRF's Cyber Harassment Helpline received 317 new cases. 50 of these complaints were about NCUI, or Non Consensual Use of Information, which may include images, name, phone number etc. Our helpline prioritize helping women and transgender individuals.
Australia is mourning today, following the horrific act of violence in Sydney. Tragically, a Pakistani national was among the six killed, with another Pakistani injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ loved ones. إن الله و انا اليه راجعون

For @Compilerdotnews I spoke with @nighatdad about the life and death stakes of online gender-based violence in Pakistan compiler.news/harm-reduction/
Hey @nypost I appreciate you reading my @RollingStone story on @AOC but you seemed to have missed the entire point of the article which is sharing deepfakes is harmful fullstop. Notice we didn’t use any deepfake photos of AOC and still managed to get the news across.

Foreign consultants in Pakistan is the biggest scam. Locals do all the work, foreign consultant shows up on presentation day, and has no idea what’s happening. Then takes millions of $$$ home. It is bureaucracy’s fetish with white skin consultants, otherwise they offer nothing
It is true that new ideas can not come from the current system until we do the reform on HR. But Hiring foreign technical advisors is a stop-gap arrangement. There are many in the private sector directly working with foreign companies /consultancies. Hire locally & reskill.
as always @nighatdad made a principled stand and aired her bold opinion. admirable indeed.
Thank u @nighatdad for saying it so clearly I was so missing it as there were so many with bold voices but except u & @salmanAraja I did not find a clear stand @GermanyinPAK surely need a refresher in tense diplomacy & so do organisers to not curb voices that talk about rights
Gentle reminder: critique does not equal cancelling. The world is not black & white. You can agree with some things a person does while criticising particular choices; you can criticise some aspects of an event while appreciating others. Without critique, there is no progress.
Thank you @nighatdad 🙏✊🇵🇸

بہت سی خواتین اپنی چوائیس سے سنگل ہیں ، یہ بات ان کو سمجھ نہیں آتی ، شادی ہی زندگی کی معراج نہیں ارو بھی غم ہے دنیا میں محبت کے سوا، راحتین ارو بھی ہے وصل کی راحت کے سوا
خبر دیتے ہوئے مصالحہ دار punch line دینا ضروری ہو گیا ہے ورنہ ضروری نہیں کہ ہر غیر شادی شدہ خاتون شادی کے انتظار میں ہی بیٹھی ہو۔ وہ اپنے خواب پورے کرنے میں مصروف بھی ہو سکتی ہے۔ اپنی دنیا آپ بنانے میں مگن ہو سکتی ہے لیکن چونکہ ہمارے ہاں خاتون کی زندگی کا مقصد شادی ہی سمجھا جاتا…
It is always easier to judge someone and to assume how they handled a particular situation, what was said and what questions were asked. Just because this info is not shared, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
I married at 15. Didn't sacrifice myself or children for marriage. I climbed and made sure my children come with me. As my lovely, adorable daughter is also wearing her uniform. Journey was not easygoing! Especially when you are a woman in a patriarchal society. It is continued
RUDA was always a conventional housing scheme development, running on speculation and marketing. It will take 2 decades to turn into something, but the damage is irreparable. Farmers have left, land will be barren, dust flying into the city for years. Ravi will have little water…
New Metro City, approved by RUDA ads on TV Remember when everyone was hellbent on proving RUDA was going to be a vertical city, different from housing schemes? Well it’s same old housing scheme expansion while majority of plots in Lahore remain empty
The Govt of Pakistan has repeatedly been urged by intl treaty bodies like CEDAW to take targeted measures to increase the number of women judges in the higher courts- yet conversations about the 'welfare and growth of the legal profession' happen without any female representation
Lawyers from various Bar Associations,including Okara, Sheikhupura,Chakwal,Bhera,& Bhalwal gathered for discussions with the Law Minister prioritizing the welfare and growth of the legal profession.Such dialogues are crucial for boosting collaboration for a stronger legal system.
We got a quick second with #MeToo & #BLM and have to live through a life time of backlash because we had a little air time. What the actual fuck? "Why the New York Appeals Court Judges Reversed Harvey Weinstein’s Conviction" hollywoodreporter.com/business/busin…
تم نے بلاسفیمی کا نام سُنا ہے؛ ہم بھُگت رہے ہیں۔
No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children. You will not distract us from this immoral war.
For so many, today's Weinstein decision will feel like #MeToo's strength (women coming together and breaking our silence) has been turned into a legal liability. It's more complicated than that, but what is not complicated is that we need to keep building our movement.
I can't believe what @Columbia is doing to #freeexpression. When I was a student, we were constantly encouraged by the university's support for all voices. It was a sharp contrast for me coming from #India
Any news orgs want an oped about why these campus encampments are kicking off everywhere? In 2011, I studied the rise and transformation of the Occupy movement from demonstrations in public parks to a global phenomenon. This moment has all the makings for mass mobilization.
Last year, DRF released five editions of our feminist e-magazine Digital 50.50, which covered a wide range of topics and sparked meaningful dialogue. You can read the articles here: digitalrightsfoundation.pk/digital-50-50/.
@nighatdad @jehan_ara @hammads They gave up when they were publicly harassed, threatened and their family names were dragged in by government officials on Twitter and the women (& men) we expected to speak up remained silent spectators. If that momentum had been maintained we wouldn't be having this convo rn
Shukriya Muhammed Taha! As our PM said, people like Taha sb, who showed 'extraordinary courage' during the Sydney attack, should be thanked. Delighted Taha can soon call Australia home for his selfless act – protecting people he had never met before. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
