News you wouldn't expect to break on Xmas Eve: UN Adopted the Convention Against "Cybercrime" (proposed by Russia): https://unis.unvienna.org/unis/pressrels/2024/uniscp1184.html
Here's why you should be concerned if you are a fan of privacy and freedom of expression:

1. Russia's agenda was clear from the moment they proposed the language of this convention, when they broadly defined "cyber crime" as including publication of information deemed to be dangerous to governments , and provides for countries to cooperate on digital surveillance of any suspects

2. The language of the convention does not make any differentiation between people who gain access to a computer for security research purposes and those who break in to steal or destroy information. That puts legitimate security researchers at greater risk of surveillance, international prosecution

For one example that should cause you concern, check out Article 22 on jurisdiction:
