Dictators Used Sandvine Tech to Censor the Internet. The US Finally Did Something About It

In recent years, dictators around the world have been using technology from a Canadian company called Sandvine to censor the internet and suppress dissent. Sandvine’s deep packet inspection technology allows governments to monitor and control internet traffic, making it easier for them to block access to websites and social media platforms.

This has had a chilling effect on freedom of speech and expression in many countries, with activists and journalists facing harassment, surveillance, and even imprisonment for speaking out against their governments.

Fortunately, the US government has finally taken action to restrict the export of Sandvine’s technology to countries with a history of human rights abuses. This move is a welcome step towards holding dictators accountable for their repressive actions and protecting the rights of internet users around the world.

It is crucial that we continue to push for greater transparency and oversight of technology companies like Sandvine, to ensure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses. Only by standing up against censorship and defending freedom of expression can we truly create a more just and equitable world.
