Offenses under the #UNCybercrime Treaty would impose restrictions that may interfere with the essential working methods of journalists, whistleblowers, and security researchers. The Convention should not become a vehicle to investigate any and all crimes. https://t.co/EHSq34Vhp6 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Many States rely on the ambiguity around content crimes to justify human rights abuses and prosecutions of civil society members, independent media, activists, and opposition parties. Speech related offenses should be excluded from the Cybercrime Treaty. https://t.co/EHSq34Vhp6 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Clusters 2 to 10 of the #UNCybercrime Treaty include offenses that are not core cybercrimes, are drafted with vague language, or are offenses that interfere with protected speech. These cluster of offenses should be excluded from the proposed Convention. https://t.co/EHSq34Vhp6 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

The Criminalization Chapter under the #UNCybercrime Treaty should be restricted to core cybercrimes – criminal offenses where ICT systems are the direct objects and instruments of the crimes. https://t.co/hcVelgKjON — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

More than 80 public interest groups remind UN Member States that the broad and undefined concepts contained in the #UNCybercrimeTreaty - such as “terrorism” and “extremism” - should not be used as a basis to restrict freedom of expression. https://t.co/hcVelgKREl — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

@EFF Article 10 of the #UNCybercrimeTreaty over-criminalizes password sharing. While passwords can be illegally sold for profit, many are shared by friends and family without profit. The article could turn millions of persons into cybercriminals overnight https://t.co/XsC6lnwsZS — PolitiTweet.org

@EFF During the negotiations of the #UNCybercrimeTreaty in Vienna, EFF urged UN Member States to focus on the criminal conduct of using security tools rather than the mere possession, production, or distribution. /2 https://t.co/VFMMYyFZuu — PolitiTweet.org

EFF’s @txitua delivered an oral statement today in front of @UN_Vienna Member States urging them not to create legal woes for security researchers who expose security flaws in the draft #UNCybercrimeTreaty. /1 https://t.co/XsC6lnwsZS https://t.co/eo7ILFub2j — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

By including offenses based on harmful speech in the upcoming UN Cybercrime Treaty, governments will be provided a framework to exploit and abuse laws to stifle lawful speech and free expression. Speech related offenses should be excluded from the Treaty. https://t.co/hcVelgKjON — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Criminal offenses that prohibit the dissemination of content stifle the right to free expression and should only be restricted under certain circumstances. Speech related offenses should be excluded from the Treaty. https://t.co/247GfY63Mt — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

EFF and 80 organizations are concerned that many provisions in the current draft of the #UNCybercrimeTreaty do not uphold human rights law and open the door to implementation in ways that further threatens human rights and the rule of law. https://t.co/hcVelgKjON — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

EFF and allies have grave concerns that the draft negotiating document calls for Member States to treat various kinds of speech—much of which would be fully protected under international human rights law—as a criminal offense. @eff https://t.co/GlReanFZ4x — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

Speech harms that are otherwise recognized as legally actionable do not need to be specially addressed as cybercrimes in the proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty. Including content-related crimes in the treaty would pose serious threats to free expression.@eff https://t.co/EHSq34Vhp6 — PolitiTweet.org

EFF @EFF

EFF is in Vienna this week to stand up for users at talks between Member States over the proposed #UNCybercrimeTreaty. A long list of vaguely worded offenses in a negotiating document for the treaty threatens to criminalize protected speech. https://t.co/hcVelgKREl — PolitiTweet.org

This is a big step in the right direction: voluntary opt-in consent should be the baseline requirement for any data collection, retention, or use. And we should take a step further: online behavioral advertising should be banned. — PolitiTweet.org

Many privacy advocates aren't OK with age verification. “It's really up to the parent to have conversations with their kid and to really make sure that they know what's happening on the devices that their teenager is using,” EFF’s @JGKelley told @npratc. https://t.co/PulNIvLhBP — PolitiTweet.org

We've learned this lesson before: Absent strict protections, any sensors that collect data and footage about people  will eventually become a tool of police surveillance--even self-driving cars. https://t.co/vVEZvCd9C3 — PolitiTweet.org
