The Biden administration supports a UN cybercrime treaty despite concerns about misuse by authoritarian regimes.

The proposed UN Cybercrime Treaty lacks protection for security researchers and journalists, potentially criminalizing their essential work in identifying system vulnerabilities.

The UN Cybercrime Treaty drafts pose risks to global cybersecurity and the activities of good faith cybersecurity researchers

The proposed treaty categorizes much of the work of security researchers as criminal activity, hindering their ability to enhance technological safety

The UN Cybercrime Treaty is in the final stages of drafting and could potentially hinder security researchers' efforts to enhance global security.

Over 120 prominent security researchers and cybersecurity organizations have expressed concern about the draft and called for modifications to protect security research.

The UN Cybercrime Treaty drafts pose substantial risks to cybersecurity and the rights of cybersecurity researchers.

The drafts fail to exempt good faith security research from the expansive scope of cybercrime prohibitions.

EFF and 110 NGOs have outlined non-negotiable redlines for the proposed UN Cybercrime Treaty.

The proposed treaty has evolved into an expansive surveillance tool rather than a focused approach to tackling cybercrime.

The new draft of the UN cybercrime treaty is raising concerns about criminalizing expression and dissent and enabling extensive surveillance powers.

The new draft retains a provision that poses a threat to encryption and allows states to access data stored by companies abroad.
