Authoritarian regimes use technology to undermine democracy and human rights, so technology should be used to support democratic values and norms, according to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that technology should be used to support democratic values in the face of efforts by authoritarian and repressive regimes that are trying to use technology to undermine democracy and human rights. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN.
