On Monday, 50 nations and over 150 tech companies pledged to do more to fight criminal activity on the internet including interference in elections and hate speech. The governments and organizations pledged their commitment in the document titled Paris Call for Trust and Security in the Cyberspace.

The representatives of these countries vowed to work together to prevent malicious activities like online censorship and the theft of trade secrets. According to the Associated Press, the document is supported by EU countries, Japan, and Canada, and is also being supported by tech giants including Microsoft, Facebook, and Google.

At the front of the initiative is French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking on the occasion at the Internet Governance Forum organized at the Paris-based U.N. cultural agency UNESCO, he said it’s urgent to better regulate the internet. According to him,

‘Facebook has accepted to let a team of French officials observe the way it monitors and removes hate speech content. He said the goal is to plan elaborate precise, concrete joint proposals about the fight against hate speech and offensive content.’

Surprisingly USA, Russia and China are not a signatory to the historic document. Pakistan is also not part of the document as a signatory. This comes as a huge concern as in the past Pakistan has come under multiple cyber security threats that have leaked sensitive user information through various social media.

CWPK Legacy
Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come.
