Now is the time to take action for digital justice

The Global Digital Justice Forum, a coalition of civil society organizations from the Global Majority, argues that the 'Broligarchy'—Silicon Valley firms and US government leadership—has weaponized data and AI, leading to human rights abuses, ecological injustice, and the exclusion of 2.5 billion people from digital benefits. The coalition demands a transition to 'global digital constitutionalism' where digital infrastructures are treated as commons rather than commodities, urging governments to curb corporate monopolies and protect the rights of nature.

• The Global Digital Justice Forum identifies a 'Broligarchy' consisting of a few Silicon Valley companies and US government leadership, which they claim threatens human rights, peace, sustainable development, and ecological justice.
• The coalition asserts that Big Tech companies, specifically Meta, X, and Google, prioritize profits over people and have contributed to job precarity, misinformation, war crimes, and the climate catastrophe through the weaponization of AI and data.
• Global inequality is exacerbated by the fact that 2.5 billion people are still excluded from the actual benefits of digital access.
• The Forum advocates for 'global digital constitutionalism' and a shift toward treating digital infrastructures as a commons to ensure a democratic and humane digital future that protects the rights of nature.
