### News and Updates ###

*** Kaspersky Products Banned by EU Parliament ***

Kaspersky was banned by the EU Parliament with a vote of 476 vs 151, as
it was “confirmed as malicious.” Although non-binding, the resolution
could lead to more EU member states taking action to clamp down on sales
of the Russian AV vendor’s products.

*** Social media disruptions follow police violence in Mali ***

The European Union and the United Nations have called on Mali’s
government to respect freedom of expression ahead of and during the
upcoming presidential elections. Internet Sans Frontieres have reported
a shutdown of social media platforms in Mali, following a violent police
crackdown on opposition protests calling for transparency and
accountability in the elections.

harassment experienced by politically active women. Among their many
