Cyber Civil Rights Initiative

The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI) is a non-profit organization that was started as the End Revenge Porn campaign in 2012 by Holly Jacobs, who herself was a victim of revenge porn.[1][2]

Mission

CCRI's mission is to raise awareness about online harassment and advocate for technological, social, and legal reform.[2][3] CCRI prefers the term "nonconsensual pornography" to "revenge porn" and considers it a form of sexual abuse.[4][5]

History

In August 2012, after struggling for years as a victim of revenge porn, Holly Jacobs started an online campaign, End Revenge Porn (ERP),[6] which advocated for the criminalization of revenge porn.[7] She teamed up with legal experts and anti-revenge porn advocates Mary Anne Franks, Charlotte Laws, and Danielle Citron and, in 2013, incorporated all of her advocacy work into the nonprofit organization, CCRI.[2][8]

Leadership

Holly Jacobs is the founder, president, and executive director of CCRI.[9]

Professor Mary Anne Franks is the Vice-President and Legislative and Tech Policy Director of CCRI.[3][10]
