The document calls on the State department to promote and maintain an open inclusive and secure digital ecosystem; align their technology governance work with partners in a way that respects human rights; encourage responsible state behavior online, including by discouraging cyberattacks on critical infrastructure; and improve the cybersecurity and tech policy capacity of partner states. <\/p>\n<p>The strategy does not break much new ground and mostly reiterates existing U.S. policy, but Nate Fick, the top cyber diplomat at the State Department, told reporters in San Francisco that the strategy offers an affirmative vision of what the internet might look like at a time when authoritarian states are increasingly censoring their domestic web, and countries in Europe are looking to controls on data flows to wrest back their technology ecosystem from both Chinese and American firms. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s our obligation to provide a compelling choice,\u201d Fick said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Open internet advocates have described the move to force a TikTok divestiture as an abandonment of the United States\u2019 commitment to an open internet, but Fick argued that TikTok represents a \u201csui generis\u201d national security threat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a slippery slope to determine which platforms can and can\u2019t be used in a free and open society,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>To develop a positive American vision of a contemporary internet, the 54-page document provides a lengthy to-do list of thorny diplomatic problems with no clear solution in sight.<\/p>\n<p>Among its goals are the crafting of a new international treaty regarding cybercrime. U.S. officials have been battling Russian and Chinese diplomats on this issue at the United Nations, where the Kremlin\u2019s diplomats have sought passage of a broad cybercrime treaty that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/blog\/dangers-new-russian-proposal-un-convention-international-information-security\">experts warn<\/a> would severely undermine online rights. <\/p>\n<p>The document calls on U.S. diplomats to step up their work in international standards bodies and to reinvigorate their work before the International Telecommunications Union, one such key standard body. U.S. diplomats are instructed to pursue \u201cmore action-oriented discussions at the UN\u201d to promote responsible state behavior online and improve cyber capacity. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The document also calls on U.S. diplomats to encourage the free flow of data and an open internet and to counter what the document describes as many American partners\u2019 growing embrace of \u201cnarratives of digital sovereignty and protectionism.\u201d This includes a proposal by the European Union to certify the cybersecurity of cloud computing providers, an idea that has sparked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/european-cybersecurity-certification-scheme-cloud-services\">intense criticism<\/a> by some U.S. observers and the American technology industry. <\/p>\n<p>Conflicts such as these gesture at the tension in the new strategy document. Around the world, governments are increasingly seeking greater control over technology in all its forms \u2014 whether that\u2019s the data collected by online platforms or the supply chain for critical chips \u2014 and that often comes into conflict with the United States\u2019 historical emphasis on an open internet, with U.S. technology firms providing its essential components. <\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s growing technological clout is challenging that model, and Monday\u2019s strategy document can perhaps be most clearly understood as a summation of U.S. policy to counter Beijing\u2019s influence on matters of technology and public policy. As 5G cellular technology was rolled out over the past decade, Chinese firms dominated its deployment, and Blinken said on Monday that this experience is informing the State Department\u2019s efforts to promote the work of companies committed to an open web.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve learned in the 5G experience that we cannot be complacent and let strategic competitors dominate the technologies that form the backbone of the global economy and that determine how and where information flows,\u201d Blinken said. <\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"4.025354969574\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"14\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/state-department-wants-digital-solidarity-at-center-of-tech-diplomacy-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Elias Groll\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Elias Groll<\/h4>\n<p> Elias Groll is a senior editor at CyberScoop.
