UN cybercrime pact to be signed in Hanoi raises hopes, concerns - Oh_Well - Oct 22, 2025
HANOI, Oct 22 (Reuters) - A landmark U.N. cybercrime agreement aimed at curbing offences that cost the global economy trillions of dollars annually is set to be signed by representatives from dozens of states in Hanoi this weekend, despite criticism over human rights risks.
Activists, major technology companies and the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights have warned about possible abuses from its vague language on crime, with some saying it would facilitate rather than combat illegal activities.

Hopefully it helps more than it hurts — these things can go either way
