Everyone has the right to enjoy technology freely and safely. At U Right Sis?

we are all about working with communities to promote healthy relationships, increase digital literacy, and prevent technology-facilitated abuse. Technology-facilitated abuse is when technology, like phones, computers and social media, are used to harm, control or threaten another person. We work with communities to increase knowledge and understanding of how to identify and respond to technology-f

acilitated abuse. We also work alongside communities to promote healthy relationships and increase digital literacy, so that everyone can use technology free from abusive and controlling behaviours.

With the rise of AI-generated online content, we have to be more wary than ever about what is real and what is fake.
AI is being used to perpetrate technology-facilitated abuse (TFA), for example, deepfakes. All ‘revenge porn’, including creating and sharing deepfakes, is illegal.
If you or someone you know has experienced this, help is available.
You can collect evidence and report it to the police and eSafety:

It’s illegal to share private photos of someone without their consent. That’s called image-based abuse (sometimes it’s called “revenge porn”) and it’s a crime under Australian law.
This includes:
- Real videos or images of you that are intimate (this means: n**e or partially naked; of your ge****ls or bottom; doing a private activity like showering, using the toilet, having a bath, or doing something sexual; or you without religious/cultural clothing like a hijab or turban).
- Fake or AI images or video including deepfakes’.
- Images or video that are shared to make people think it’s you even if it’s not (for example, if you’ve been tagged in a n**e where you can’t see the person’s identity).
If you are a victim of image-based abuse – or you’re being threatened with it – help is always available. It’s important to stop all contact with the person by blocking them, ignoring their messages/calls, and updating your privacy settings.

Consent matters everywhere, including online. Nobody has the right to post a photo or video of you or share personal/private details about you online without your consent.
It’s important to always ask for consent before sharing content about someone else, even if you think it’ll be okay. It’s about respect, privacy, and keeping safe online.
It’s just as important to respect someone’s “no”. It might be a group photo where you all look super cute, but one person isn’t comfortable with it being shared online. That’s okay!
We all have the right to say “no”, especially when it comes to online content.

TFA can take many forms and look different for everyone, but there are a few warning signs to look out for if you think someone you know may be experiencing TFA:
🚩Their partner always knows where they are and turns up unexpectedly without explanation.
🚩 Their partner calls or texts them constantly and expects to know who they are with and what they are doing at all times.
🚩Their partner has all their passwords and login details.
If someone you know might be experiencing TFA, there’s a few ways you can help.
It’s important to listen to them and validate their experiences by reassuring them that it’s not their fault this is happening to them. Being there to listen and support them without judgement is vital.
It’s also vital to put safety first: encourage them to find ways to keep themselves safe, seek help through different support services, and help them get access to a safe device that they can freely use to communicate.

Although anyone can experience technology-facilitated abuse (TFA), it is a gendered issue. TFA intersects with domestic, family and sexual violence (which is gendered) and is a form of gender-based violence, commonly used within relationships.
Women experience TFA in unique ways and tend to suffer more severe psychological impacts because of it.
