The US says the proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty must be be firmly grounded in human rights, fundamental freedoms, and rule of law. We will hold the US to its word. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/28/perilous-path-new-cybercrime-treaty/

Any #UNCybercrimeTreaty should make us more cyber secure, it should not make us less cyber secure, says @tame_wildcard. The treaty should provide legal protection for security researchers and journalists who identify and fix vulnerabilities in technologies we use every day.

We're fighting against Russia's amendment in Art. 9bis of the #UNCybercrimeTreaty. The vague language "aimed at disrupting information and communication networks" raises concerns as it can be broadly interpreted to justify censorship.

It's time to unite against overcriminalization in the proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty! Let's protect the rights of ordinary users and focus on tackling genuine cyber threats.

Companies like Netflix have addressed password sharing through civil means, such as charging a small fee for additional users. Penalizing users for sharing passwords in non-profit situations is excessive. #UNCybercrimeTreaty

Netflix Sharing: The proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty could turn millions of ordinary people into "cybercriminals" overnight by criminalizing password sharing among friends and family. This is a disproportionate response to a civil issue.

The Iranian proposal for the U.N. Cybercrime Treaty to restrict tools for "hiding the identity of users" is a major threat to human rights. We must fight against all attempts to limit the tools that protect privacy, anonymity, and free speech in the #UNCybercrimeTreaty.

The Chinese amendment to the proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty worsens an already problematic definition. This may lead to a ban on penetration testing & dual-use security tools, further jeopardizing tools needed for security research.

Tool Problems: The proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty could unintentionally ban essential tools like penetration testing or dual-use computer security tools. We must protect the rights of security researchers and the tools they rely on!

Transparency reports from ISPs are crucial for oversight and accountability. However, the draft's language could lead to laws gaging Transparency reports—undermining trust and transparency. #UNCybercrimeTreaty https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/decoding-uncybercrime-treaty

Any #UNCybercrimeTreaty should make us more cyber secure, not less. The present text of the treaty, unless drastically improved, would make us less cyber secure, @tame_wildcard said in Vienna at an EFF briefing. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/eff-international-allies-warn-proposed-un-cybercrime-treaty-rather-making-us-more

Removing from the proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty obligations to provide adequate human rights protections could undermine privacy and data protection on a global scale, and would contradict existing international human rights standards, EFF's @txitua told reporters.

Don't Silence Transparency Reports. People deserve to know if their data was shared with authorities. Unfortunately, the draft treaty permits gag orders, even when disclosure wouldn't harm ongoing investigations. #UNCybercrimeTreaty

Article 6 of the proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty also raises concerns about its aggravating penalties. This article affects reporters and whistleblowers who expose vital information. Time to take a stand!

Access without authorization: the amendments by many states do not include an intent requirement risk blurring the line between security researchers finding vulnerabilities and cybercriminals exploiting them. #UNCybercrimeTreaty https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/decoding-uncybercrime-treaty
