Lessons from the Arab region for UN cybercrime convention The UN cybercrime convention will allow governments across the Arab region and worldwide to use cybercrime laws to violate human rights.

Cybercrime laws across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are being weaponized to stifle dissent + crush freedoms – going beyond combating real crimes. The new @UN Cybercrime treaty could legitimize these abuses.

The sentencing of human rights defender Patrick George to three years in prison is a chilling reminder of the pervasive oppression within Egypt. It is a stark example of the oppression faced by those who bravely stand up for justice and human rights.

First post. Wondering if I can liberate myself here from self-imposed censorship I exercise on other platforms heavily monitored by security. I need a space to express myself without worrying about such risks. Concerned censorship has inhibited my free expression bec it has been imposed for 10 yrs

Thank you 😊
