The United Nations' top internet governance body will allegedly host its next two annual meetings in countries known for repressive internet policies and human rights abuses.
While the UN has yet to formally announce the host countries for either meeting, Saudi Arabia's minister of communications and information technology, Abdullah Alswaha, seemed to let the news slip at this year’s forum in Tokyo, Japan, which began on Sunday and ends Thursday. In a short speech before the plenary, Alswaha ran through some key issues facing the IGF, including generative artificial intelligence and the digital divide.
” There have been proposals put forth at the UN to substantially alter the balance of power in global internet governance. Fiddler points to the “Global Digital Compact,” which could substantially increase the UN’s role in regulating the internet. In a similar vein, Bukovská points to a cybersecurity treaty currently being proposed by Russia which, critics fear, is so vague that it could permit prosecution and targeting of journalists and democracy advocates.
