Motley Matrix Digital Justice Initiative (MMDJI) 

Founded in 2020, The Motley Matrix Digital Justice Initiative is our registered 501c3 nonprofit arm, dedicated to advancing critical infrastructure that upholds the “digital rights are civil rights” paradigm. Our Mission supports providing advocacy and education about AI, deepfakes/digital fakes, social media, and other emerging technologies,

Digital Rights are Civil Rights

Every digital citizen or “netizen” deserves to feel safe and protected, have peace of mind, and live with dignity and respect. Designed to unify the words of “internet” and “citizen” - the concept behind digital citizenship is to ensure that the civil rights of a netizen are equal to those of a citizen within the physical world. Advancing the concept that “digital rights are civil rights” increases protection against all forms of violence in the digital environment, including child trafficking, gender-based violence, cyber-aggression, cyber harassment, cyber-attacks, and information warfare. 

Expertise 

The Motley Matrix Digital Justice Initiative provides subject matter expertise on digital rights, digital citizenship, social media intelligence (SOCMINT), open-source intelligence (OSINT) and the application of ethical artificial intelligence (AI). Our passions include communicating digital technologies to those in non-technical fields or “tech-challenged” populations. 

Target Communities 

1. Dedicated to “emerging art technologies” - MMDJI supports education and advocacy for digital artists spotlighting art leveraging computer coding or internet technologies, such as virtual reality or facial recognition, with the end goal of an “immersive artistic experience,” including but not limited to works such as digital painting, digital photography, concept art, 3D modeling, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), etc. Representation is key, including for those within the art community. 
2. High Risk Populations for Cybercrime - Vulnerable children, adults, victims of domestic violence, and those within the public sphere that could be targets for a financial cybercrime campaign or reputation smear effort. 
3. Motley Matrix remains committed to train veterans and their families during the transition process post-deployment, or family members of veterans who made be targets for manipulation or harassment online. Topics include social media safety, online reputation management, digital rights to privacy and digital dust.  

Social media usage has risen exponentially over the past decade and with it has come social media misconduct. Whether you are an employer who needs background checks on a new employee’s social media accounts, or an business executive who needs online reputation management counsel, Motley Matrix can assist.

Social media investigations involve the detailed analysis of an organization’s or individual’s social media accounts. They are commonly used to provide information relevant to an investigation, court case, background checks or to establish an alibi. Equally, these same tactics can be applied to online reputation management.

Social media investigations can be critical in providing admissible evidence within civil and criminal matters. Another growing requirement for these services is pre-employment screenings or internal investigations involving current or former employees within a business. This can be due to the need to ascertain specific evidence in relation to potentially fraudulent activity, data theft, or gross misconduct.

Our Fight Against Digital Hate, Online Extremism & Cyber Bullying 

Online radicalization leading to offline violence is the process by which an individual is introduced to an ideological message or belief system that encourages movement from mainstream beliefs toward extreme views, primarily through the use of online media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube - ultimately influencing activity outside of the cyber sphere, also known as "offline" or in communities. These extreme views tend to justify, promote, incite, or support violence to achieve any number of social, religious, or political changes. 

The proliferation of internet platforms that cater to extremists allows individuals to engage with potentially violent movements without being card-carrying members of a particular group. This phenomenon has blurred the boundaries of hate groups, helping coalesce a broader but more loosely affiliated movement of extremists who reject the country’s democratic institutions and pluralistic society.
