The Citizen Lab’s director Ron Deibert and senior researcher John Scott-Railton co-signed an open letter spearheaded by Access Now, calling on Sandvine to publicly commit to upholding the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and to strengthen oversight and transparency of the company’s announced reforms.
On October 31, 2024, Access Now, along with other human rights organizations and experts sent an open letter to Sandvine which was prompted by the company’s removal from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Entity List of companies subject to export controls.
