Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right derived from the inherent dignity of all persons. Freedom of expression and privacy are the most material human rights risks in telecommunications. The main risks include complicity in human rights violations following excessive governmental requests, which are to the detriment of freedom of expression and privacy.

The policy is – to the best of our knowledge – the most far-reaching policy of its kind in the industry. more[...]
