[governance] US to impose sanctions on foreign cyber attackers

[Fouad Bajwa]

But this should be a larger debate beyond the remit of nation states that
involves the broader civil society and other stakeholders. These
technologies did not just appear on their own, they were developed by
individuals, groups, communities and companies and so forth. Why are we so
afraid to create a discourse and bridge the gaps opposed to the propaganda?
Why not raise and argue at the IGF and regional fora? Why not a dynamic
coalition on the issue?
