Our Advocacy
We advocate for fundamental changes in how digital platforms treat marginalized communities—pushing for rights, representation, and responsibility.
What We Advocate For
Our advocacy work extends beyond any single campaign or platform. We are building a movement for lasting, systemic change in how the digital economy treats all people—particularly those who have been historically marginalized, excluded, or exploited.
Through research, public education, coalition building, and strategic campaigns, we push for policies and practices that center human dignity, ensure fair treatment, and hold powerful platforms accountable for their impact on vulnerable communities.
Human Rights in Digital Spaces
The digital world is not separate from our physical reality—it is an extension of it. The same rights that protect people offline must be upheld online.
Equal Treatment in Online Entertainment
All users deserve fair and equal treatment regardless of race, physical characteristics, disability, or background. Platforms must actively work to eliminate discriminatory practices and ensure all users can participate fully and safely.
Protection from Discrimination
Digital platforms must implement and enforce robust anti-discrimination policies. This includes proactive content moderation, accessible reporting mechanisms, and meaningful consequences for discriminatory behavior.
Access and Inclusion
Platforms must be designed with accessibility in mind from the start—not as an afterthought. This includes compliance with accessibility standards and genuine inclusion of diverse perspectives in design processes.
Dignity and Respect
Every person engaging with digital platforms deserves to be treated with dignity. This means an end to content and features that mock, objectify, or demean any group of people based on their identity.
Ethical Gambling Standards
The online gambling and crypto-casino industry must be held to the highest ethical standards to protect users from exploitation.
Responsible Gaming Requirements
Platforms must implement comprehensive responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and easy-to-use self-exclusion options. These tools must be prominently displayed and genuinely accessible.
Protection of Vulnerable Users
Platforms have a responsibility to identify and protect vulnerable users. This includes age verification, algorithms that detect problem gambling patterns, and outreach to users showing signs of harm. Marketing must never target vulnerable populations or economically disadvantaged communities.
Transparent Odds and Practices
Users have a right to understand exactly what they're engaging with. Platforms must clearly display odds, house edges, and terms in plain language. Hidden conditions and misleading promotions must be eliminated.
Advertising Standards
Gambling advertising must be truthful, never target minors or vulnerable individuals, and include prominent responsible gambling messaging. Influencer marketing must comply with the same standards and disclosure requirements.
Corporate Accountability
Companies that profit from global user bases must be held to global standards of responsibility and transparency.
Platform Responsibility
Platforms are not neutral conduits—they shape user experiences through their design, algorithms, and policies. With that power comes responsibility for the impacts of their choices on users and communities.
Global Reach, Global Standards
Platforms operating internationally cannot cherry-pick regulations. They must meet the highest standards of user protection wherever they operate, not just where regulations force them to.
Community Input Mechanisms
Platforms must create meaningful channels for affected communities to provide input on policies and practices. This goes beyond token consultation—it means genuine partnership with the communities they serve.
Auditing and Reporting
Regular independent audits and public transparency reports should be standard practice. Users and regulators deserve insight into how platforms operate and how they're addressing identified problems.
Representation & Protection
Marginalized communities deserve not just protection from harm, but meaningful representation and a seat at the table.
Meaningful Inclusion in Decision-Making
Affected communities must have genuine input into decisions that affect them. This means diverse representation in leadership, on advisory boards, and in design and policy teams. Consultation must be early, ongoing, and influential—not performative checkboxes.
Anti-Discrimination Policies
Clear, comprehensive anti-discrimination policies must be prominently published and rigorously enforced. This includes protection based on race, ethnicity, disability, physical characteristics, gender, sexuality, and all other protected characteristics.
Safe Reporting Mechanisms
Users must have access to confidential, accessible channels to report discrimination, harassment, or other harms without fear of retaliation. Reports must receive timely, substantive responses and follow-up.
Support Resources
Platforms should provide resources for users who have experienced harm—including connections to support services, clear information about rights, and in appropriate cases, remediation for documented harms.
Coalition Building
Lasting change requires unified voices. We believe in the power of coalition and solidarity across communities.
Uniting Marginalized Voices
Different communities face different specific challenges, but many underlying issues are shared. By coming together, we amplify each other's voices and create stronger pressure for systemic change.
Cross-Community Solidarity
An injury to one is an injury to all. We actively support the advocacy work of allied communities, even when their specific campaigns differ from our own. Solidarity strengthens everyone.
International Partnerships
Digital platforms operate globally, so our advocacy must too. We partner with international human rights organizations, digital rights groups, and advocacy networks to coordinate pressure across borders.
Amplifying Underrepresented Perspectives
We actively work to elevate voices that are often overlooked in policy discussions. Our platform is a vehicle for sharing stories, research, and perspectives from our communities with broader audiences.
