A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

UN approves its first treaty targeting cybercrime

In many places, ratifying a treaty requires parliament approval, so it's not going to be quick. Talk to your representative once this treaty comes up in your parliement's agenda.

A primary purpose of the state is the violent control of people and things.

An organization of states won't be any different.
