@BasuArindrajit @RIAnetwork @APC_News it was also great working with you on this report, one of the many examples of the value of civil society engagement on cybernorms! https://t.co/3nRee2idgU

Great to hear lots of support from states and other stakeholders for more inclusive and interactive discussions on responsible state behaviour at the OEWG on ICT's virtual stakeholder session just now. Let's hope we build on this going forward. https://t.co/fZNR0lziDo

Bangladesh’s draft Regulation for Digital, Social Media, and OTT Platforms jeopardises people’s freedom of expression, right to privacy, and online safety.

The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission must immediately scrap it 🗑️:

Ukraine is facing a second wave of cyberattacks hitting e-governance, major banks', and state agencies' websites, following similar attacks last month that targeted Ukrainian civil society.

This is very dangerous for people who depend on these services.

🚨 Today, @CenDemTech is leading 60+ human rights, civil rights & open Internet orgs in calling on Congress to oppose the fatally-flawed #EARNITAct. It threatens #encryption & #freespeech while making it harder to protect children from online abuse.

It was #SaferInternetDay earlier this week but sadly governments around the world, including the UK and the US, are taking measures that would make the internet less safe. Read the Global Encryption Coalition's statement here: https://t.co/YHhKD2uqBU
