Misguided Industry Group Advocates Ratification of the European Concention of CyberCrime

The European Convention on CyberCrime is deeply flawed and infringes upon the Constitutional rights of United States citizens. While international agreements are needed to settle jurisdictional issues, this is not the one. The document includes a chilling requirement that signatories ban the making of any hateful remark on the Internet. In the United States, we have something called the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." The only nations to ratify are Albania, Croatia and Estonia. Why should we join this list of luminaries?

Exercise Your Rights. Call Your Sentators.
