Just by looking at it I know for them cybercrime is ad-blocking and piracy. Meanwhile phone scams are the most common form of “”“cyber”“” crime and no one bats an eye on them.
IANAL: It sounds like the EFF recommendation probably wouldn’t help prevent it from being used to investigate ad blocking and piracy:
Recommendation: Restrict the definition to “core cybercrimes” like technical attacks on computers, devices, data, and communications systems. Exclude human rights-protected activities from the scope of the treaty to prevent misuse and ensure these rights are not unjustly targeted due to equating cybercrime with any crime using ICT.
Since blocking ads and piracy aren’t likely to be directly related to human rights protected activities, and they’ll probably stretch the definition of “core cybercrimes” to include those…
I haven’t even read the article, and I already hate it just by the title. I shall now go and read the article itself. The primary reason I hate it already is because anything with crime is generally used to take away people’s liberty.
Idk man taking away peoples liberty to discriminate against people isn’t a bad thing IMHO.
Define “discriminate”.
To make distinctions on the basis of class or category without regard to individual merit, especially to show prejudice on the basis of ethnicity, gender, or a similar social factor.
Nope, going to need more than the American Heritage dictionary #2 definition from you on this one.
What does it mean to discriminate? What groups of people are protected from it under law? What are the penalties for it? In your own words and using your own thoughts.
Sounds like you just want to find the loop holes of doing a hate crime. Have a good day!
