Members of the Members of the Global Internet Liberty Campaign (GILC) will today urge the Council of Europe to reconsider a draft treaty on cybercrime. The international coalition of civil liberties and human rights organizations, which includes the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), said that the proposal poses a threat to free speech and privacy on the Internet.
