Global regulation of surveillance technology lags, raising cyber crisis concerns

An opinion piece published by Радіо Свобода highlights a significant delay in the global regulation of espionage technologies, drawing parallels to the historical slow response to nuclear weapons development. The author, Solomiya Vybranovska, suggests that regulatory action often occurs reactively, only after a crisis becomes imminent. The article posits that the world risks a "cyber crisis" due to the current inability to proactively manage the proliferation and use of advanced surveillance tools. This reactive approach to critical technologies, it argues, has historically come at a high cost, as seen with the post-catastrophe regulation of nuclear armaments.
