Jordanian courts recorded 29,389 cybercrime cases during 2025, while 120 cases related to hate speech were referred to the judiciary, according to the annual report of the National Center for Human Rights.
The report indicated that these figures reflect the expanding scope of digital rights and their increasing impact, amid growing risks associated with digital usage, while also emphasizing the need to develop a comprehensive legislative and regulatory framework to address advanced uses of artificial intelligence.
It stressed the necessity of keeping pace with digital transformations through urgent regulatory frameworks based on the principles of legality, transparency, non-discrimination, and accountability, in line with relevant international standards.
The report focused on a set of priorities related to the path of human rights protection and legislative reform, including reviewing and updating relevant legislation, expanding alternatives to custodial penalties, and strengthening legal frameworks and policies governing the handling of digital transformations.
It emphasized that the integrated implementation of these priorities requires enhancing cooperation among concerned entities, contributing to the protection of human rights, the consolidation of the rule of law, and the sustainability of the national reform path.
