ACLU Letter to Secretary-General of the International Telecommunicaiton Union
Regarding the tracking of the source of internet communications
We are writing to express our concern regarding the International Telecommunication Union-Standardization’s (ITU-T) decision to draft technical standards for tracking the source of Internet communications without input from civil society organizations. According to news reports, the ITU has initiated a process “to define methods of tracing the original source of Internet communications and potentially curbing the ability of users to remain anonymous.”
