This report provides a diagnostic overview of Jordan’s Cybercrime Law No. 17/2023, examining its implications for freedom of expression, privacy, and the protection of vulnerable groups, particularly women. While the law aims to regulate digital offenses, expanded penalties and prosecutorial powers have raised concerns about limiting public criticism and suppressing open discourse. The absence of provisions specifically addressing digital violence against women highlights a significant legislative gap, especially amid rising online harassment and gender-based digital abuse. The report also explores issues related to privacy, including recent judicial interpretations that broaden state monitoring of digital communication, as well as the application of “self-inflicted disgrace,” which may discourage victims from reporting cyberviolence. By comparing national practices with international standards on permissible criticism and human rights, the analysis underscores the need for legal reforms that balance security with fundamental rights, ensuring a safer and more equitable digital environment.
