USA genehmigen UN-Konvention gegen Cyberkriminalität, die Zensur legitimiert

Submission Statement: Fiona Alexander critiques the Biden administration’s intention to support a United Nations cybercrime treaty initiated by Russia, arguing it will legitimize authoritarian censorship by allowing governments to criminalize free expression under the guise of combating cybercrime. Despite warnings from civil society and industry groups about the treaty’s vague definitions and lack of safeguards, the administration plans to move forward. This move could empower regimes like those in Russia and China to intensify surveillance and repression of dissent.
