On cyber geopolitics, The U.S. House of Representatives passed the bipartisan Ukraine Cybersecurity Cooperation Act of 2017, championed by U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and fellow Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle, on a 404-3 vote.
On "Safer Internt Day", The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) revealed that more than 175,000 children go online for the first time every day tapping into all the great opportunities the Internet has to offer, but facing grave risks. Also, ENISA publishes a report providing organisations with practical tools and guidance to develop and maintain an internal cybersecurity culture.
On net neutrality, following a vote by the FCC last month<https://www.pcgamer.com/fcc-votes-to-kill-net-neutrality/> to repeal existing net neutrality protections and allow ISPs to regulate themselves, some states are enacting legislation of their own to ensure a level playing field. New Jersey is the latest to do so, with its Governor Phil Murphy signing an executive order mandating that ISPs follow net neutrality rules if they want to do business with state agencies.
On digital economy, France and Germany intensified calls on Wednesday for U.S. technology giants to pay more tax in the European Union, with Paris saying the new bill could amount to billions of euros.
