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

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.  

Online radicalization leading to offline violence is the process by which an individual is introduced to a belief system that encourages movement from mainstream beliefs toward extreme views, ultimately influencing activity "offline" or in communities.  

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.
