Victory! The security expert @olabini was finally declared innocent yesterday in a unanimous verdict by a three-judge tribunal in Ecuador. 1/ peoplesdispatch.org/2023/02/01/dig…
@olabini Since his 70-day arbitrary detention in 2019, Ola Bini’s case has been impacted by numerous due process violations and human rights concerns. It went through suspensions or delays at nearly every stage of his trial. 2/ eff.org/deeplinks/2023…
@olabini He faced unfounded accusations based on misunderstandings of technology, which disregarded the vital role of security experts and secure technology to safeguard everyone’s rights and security. 3/ eff.org/deeplinks/2021…
@olabini We joined many other digital and human rights organizations monitoring the case and calling out its serious threats and flaws. Justice has prevailed! #FreeOlaBini eff.org/document/infor…

El Martes 31 de enero se reinstala la audiencia de juicio de @olabini. Estamos pendientes y esperando que la corte de un ejemplo de transparencia y ajustado a los criterios técnicos y legales.
@eff Nos preocupa que un único día de audiencia no baste para terminar un juicio ya lleno de retrasos e irregularidades eff.org/es/deeplinks/2…
@eff Este proceso y la necesidad de decisiones ajustadas a criterios técnicos y legales son vitales para los derechos digitales en Ecuador.

More than 80 public interest groups remind UN Member States that the broad and undefined concepts contained in the #UNCybercrimeTreaty - such as “terrorism” and “extremism” - should not be used as a basis to restrict freedom of expression. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
The Criminalization Chapter under the #UNCybercrime Treaty should be restricted to core cybercrimes – criminal offenses where ICT systems are the direct objects and instruments of the crimes. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
Clusters 2 to 10 of the #UNCybercrime Treaty include offenses that are not core cybercrimes, are drafted with vague language, or are offenses that interfere with protected speech. These cluster of offenses should be excluded from the proposed Convention. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…

EFF’s @txitua delivered an oral statement today in front of @UN_Vienna Member States urging them not to create legal woes for security researchers who expose security flaws in the draft #UNCybercrimeTreaty. /1 eff.org/pages/oral-int…
@EFF During the negotiations of the #UNCybercrimeTreaty in Vienna, EFF urged UN Member States to focus on the criminal conduct of using security tools rather than the mere possession, production, or distribution. /2 eff.org/files/2023/01/…
@EFF Article 10 of the #UNCybercrimeTreaty over-criminalizes password sharing. While passwords can be illegally sold for profit, many are shared by friends and family without profit. The article could turn millions of persons into cybercriminals overnight eff.org/pages/oral-int…

This week, EFF fought uphill battles and ultimately WON what many thought were un-winnable fights:
In a stunning about-face, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted to ban killer robots after hearing from a broad coalition in opposition. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…
We kept the JCPA “link tax” bill out of must-pass U.S. military legislation. Next stop: keeping it out of the year-end omnibus. act.eff.org/action/keep-li…

The court is set to reinstate the hearing of open source software developer @olabini’s trial this Friday at 2pm Ecuador time. One afternoon is likely to be too little time to conclude a trial that has already dragged on for more than 3 years. Image
@EFF Moreover, there is still no information on whether the court will ensure a Swedish-Spanish translator, which is Ola Bini’s right since he is Swedish
@EFF We’ve already said the trial lacks legal and technical merit. The political motivations surrounding the case must be set aside in favor of a fair trial that recognizes the fragility of the accusation Image

Os trolls de direitos autorais apareceram recentemente no Brasil. Eles operam em muitos países com práticas predatórias que ameaçam garantias de devido processo, privacidade e proteção de dados de milhares de usuários de Internet. 1/ eff.org/pt-br/deeplink…
@EFF O modelo de negócio dos trolls convida à intimidação e ao abuso. Ele utiliza os tribunais como arma para identificar usuários que supostamente baixaram conteúdos e os ameaçam com demandas de acordo questionáveis. 2/
@EFF Felizmente, grupos da sociedade civil no Brasil estão no caso, alertando, orientando e lutando contra problemas desta prática. 3/
