En outre, l'Agence Nationale de Sécurité Nationale (NSA) des Etats Unis arrêtera son programme de surveillance qui recueille les courriels et les messages envoyés par les Américains à des personnes à l'étranger qui mentionnent un étranger sous surveillance, selon un rapport du New York Times. En outre, les militants de l'État islamique développent leur propre plate-forme de médias sociaux pour éviter les mesures de répression de la sécurité de leurs communications et de leur propagande, selon le chef de l'agence de police de l'UE. De plus, la radicalisation des jeunes sur Internet est une question qui est discutée lors d'une conférence des Nations Unies qui se tiendra vendredi à Bakou, en Azerbaïdjan.
Sur la neutralité du réseau, la coalition dirigée par Engine, Y Combinator et Techstars, avec plus de 800 startups technologiques, a envoyé une lettre au président de la Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Ajit Pai, pour l'exhorter à se concentrer sur "les politiques qui favoriseraient un Internet plus fort pour tous , "
Lors de la Journée mondiale de la liberté de la presse, les Nations Unies et les groupes de défense des droits exigent le respect de la liberté d'opinion et d'expression.

En outre, la Turquie a bloqué tout accès à l'intérieur du pays à l'encyclopédie Wikipedia en ligne.
En matière de protection des données, Gartner (enquête) prévoit qu'à la fin de 2018, plus de 50 pour cent des entreprises concernées par le GDPR ne respecteraient pas pleinement ses exigences. Microsoft, les services Web Amazon et Google ont promis qu'ils seront prêts pour le GDPR lorsqu'il entrera en vigueur l'année prochaine
