The US State Department has reportedly dismantled its Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy, which was established three years ago. Sources indicate that between nine and eleven staff members have been terminated as part of the restructuring. Experts suggest that this move will hinder the agency's ability to effectively pursue global policies aimed at strengthening critical infrastructure and promoting cybersecurity initiatives. The decision raises concerns about the US's commitment to international collaboration on digital policy and its capacity to address emerging cyber threats.
