More than 30 technology companies, including Facebook and Microsoft, intend to announce a statement of public refusal to take part in cyber attacks organized by the government of any country, The New York Times writes. The document, named the “Digital Geneva Convention”, outlines the main four principles. Among them, the protection of all users regardless of their status and position, as well as providing assistance to any country that faced such an attack in cyberspace, regardless of whether it is caused by fraud or geopolitics. Companies commit themselves not to help governments implement cyber attacks against citizens and companies whose guilt is not confirmed by a court decision. According to The New York Times, a number of companies, including Google, Apple and Amazon, refused to sign the agreement. Companies from Iran, North Korea, Russia and China also did not sign the agreement.
