BBC: Proteste gegen "Cyber-Crime" Entwurf-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Reportings [as far as streaming is concerned] einge/schaltet. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- By BBC News Online internet reporter Mark Ward A draft European treaty on cybercrime has been condemned as "appalling" by civil liberty groups around the globe. In all, 23 organisations have signed a letter warning that the treaty will do serious damage to civil liberties under the guise of helping law enforcers catch computer criminals. They warn that if the treaty is adopted it will dramatically restrict the free flow of information and ideas. British signatories to the protest letter say the treaty goes further than the controversial UK's Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act in giving police powers to snoop with impunity. Draft details Since 1997, the 41-nation Council of Europe has been working on the Cybercrime Treaty, which tries to harmonise laws against malicious hacking, virus writing, fraud and child pornography on the net. It also aims to ensure that police forces in separate countries gather the same standard of evidence to help track and catch criminals across borders. Late last month, the Council released the 22nd draft of the treaty for perusal by interested groups, and immediately won condemnation from civil liberty groups for its draconian tone. Thirty-five organisations co-ordinated by umbrella organisation the Global Internet Liberty Campaign urged the Council to change the treaty saying: "The draft treaty is contrary to well-established norms for the protection of the individual." Critical mass Last week, a new draft of the treaty was released, which the Council claims, answers many of the criticisms made of the treaty in the hundreds of e-mails, letters and faxes it received after the initial posting. But many of the organisations which voiced concern over the first public draft say the new version does little to allay their fears. The treaty "continues to be a document that threatens the rights of the individual while extending the powers of police authorities", they say. The groups believe that unless significant changes are made, the treaty will have "a chilling effect on the free flow of information and ideas" on the internet. full text http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1072000/1072580.stm -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 2000-12-19 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
