More than 55 countries and the United States announced their commitment Thursday to defending a free and open internet, agreeing to uphold digital human rights in response to rising authoritarianism in cyberspace

The agreement, known as the Declaration for the Future of the Internet, aims to forestall an emerging"splinternet" characterized by the growing repression of internet users in closed regimes such as Russia and China — and the divergence of those countries from the internet's founding principles of universal access and unfettered information flow.

Among other problems, the declaration repeatedly highlights how cyberattacks and disinformation risk undermining human rights and the internet's promise.Russian hacking in Ukraine has been extensive and intertwined with military operations, Microsoft says"Online platforms have enabled an increase in the spread of illegal or harmful content that can threaten the safety of individuals and contribute to radicalization and violence," the document added.

Guy go to hell all this craps

A dying news station who cares what you think enemy's of the American people

too bad they will still be racist

In Uganda, Facebook was taken off in the wake of the most violet and ruthless fake elections the world has ever seen where hundreds of innocent Ugandans were murdered in cold blood and millions are still languishing in jail up to today.

Why not just say the actual number of countries besides the US that signed the agreement? '..over 55...' only makes sense if there were maybe 55 1/2 other countries that signed.

yeah right the more the USA will be committed to a free and open internet, the more it will be authoritarian and totalitarian. only the gullible will fall for that trickery

You guys are sick..... All because Elon musk bought twitter
