US and More Than 55 Partner Countries Launch a Declaration to Promote Free Internet
The U.S. and more than 55 partner countries signed onto a declaration to foster an open, free, reliable and secure internet, senior Biden administration officials said Thursday.
The Declaration for the Future of the Internet is in part a response to a rising trend of digital authoritarianism, including Russia’s actions to block credible news sites and promote disinformation during and leading up to the invasion of Ukraine, the administration officials said.
The declaration lays out principles to promote a shared vision among the countries while they act within their own jurisdictions and in accordance with their respective laws.
