US Congressmen presented a new project to combat the Russian Federation and China in cyberspace

23
A new bill aimed at restricting "attempts of Russia and China to control the Internet" was presented yesterday in the US Congress, reports RIA News.



The document is posted on the site of one of its developers - Democrat Eliot Angel. It provides for the establishment of the position of "the US ambassador to cyberspace, who will lead the State Department's efforts in the field of cyber diplomacy."

In addition, the bill provides for “the development of international policies in cyberspace that would promote democratic principles and reject attempts by Russia and China to (establish) more serious control over the Internet.”

If the document is adopted, the State Department will have to “include assessments on Internet freedom in their annual reports on human rights in the world”.

The agency reminds that Facebook previously reported on “Russian bots” who, at the height of the presidential election campaign in the United States, bought advertisements on this social network in order to “influence the outcome of the race.” Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said then that Moscow has nothing to do with this.

    In other words, the United States said: "The Internet is MY !!!".

    The bill against Russia and China.

    For the first time, officially, the United States puts on the scales, as opposed to itself - Russia and China. Forgetting that "Boulevard will not stand two."

      actually in the novel ABOUT HENRY it was a different matter. The quote is erroneous both in essence and in content.

    aimed at limiting "attempts by Russia and China to control the Internet"

    Poor American congressmen. Perspiration, without sleep and rest, round the clock "save" the world from deadly evil. They grew up on comic books about superheroes, therefore they have been driven into the head since childhood - only America and no one else can save the world. And naturally everyone should live according to American laws.

    Interesting recognition! The political elite of the United States decided to declare that only it is the only real spider on the World Wide Web. I suppose that the further development of such attempts will turn up the emergence of independent domestic networks in order to exclude the possibility of a “main spider” spreading “democracy” and revolution to independent countries.
    PS According to statistics, the leader in blocking sites is the main promoter of freedom of speech! And he leads by multiple margins from other countries.

    Glavnyuk of all threats in cyberspace decided to appoint himself the main defender of himself.
    Oxymoron.
    I see only one thing here, to create a beloved dust-free job for your dear money.
    Attach the "diplomats" reduced in the Russian Federation.
    And the threat, that is, "Russian hackers" can be mentioned on every corner.

    Here again: "on the fight in cyberspace." The consumer of information should understand that “cyberspace” is the sphere of managing society and the individual, and it is a question of war. Information producer, by the way, too. Cyberspace is just one of many dimensions of war. During the war there is a confrontation, i.e. wrestling. And it will turn out like with Ukraine: the Russian Federation did not come to war.
