"Chima characterized the agreed upon treaty as the result of UN member states believing a “bad treaty is better than no treaty.”
Logik Deutsche Politik.
"Lieber Doppelmoral als gar keine Moral."
I take it as a sign of weakness, not a sign of strength.
Interesting times ahead!
"Opponents of the treaty include human rights organizations and big tech companies." 👀
Eff has been warning about this heavily for months and they've been on it from the start. Sucks that none of these nations consider even a single thing that they and do many other orgs warned of.
I hope this can't be combined with the bullshit in the UK to prosecute foreigners with the "wrong opinions".
thanks for sharing
These clowns can all agree on how to work together to potentially violate human and civil rights did literal billions of people, but can't seem to get their heads out of their ass about human and child trafficking, which are ALSO global problems. FUCK. THE. UN!
Name me a single person who is part of the committee that approved this. Unknown behind the scenes decision makers.
Fuck this dystopian bollocks...
Those UK slave speech patsies will love this UN gesture...
Meanwhile, the gooberments will break and enter your private property because they didn't plan their potty time...
No quarter to the enemies!
> an agreement first put forward by Russia
Ah yes, the traditional brave fighters against cybercrime.
> text that says authorities investigating crimes in any nation are entitled to obtain electronic evidence from other nations as well as ask internet service providers to hand over data
Very useful for spying an for obtaining data that can then be used for extortion. No need for ransomware :-) Or just to persecute opposition figures abroad.
Fortunately the UN is mostly a lame duck, but we'll see.
Journalists will probably be among the first to threatened by this. I hope you're right about UN's lame duck status 🤞
