Several U.S. state and local governments are signing an international pledge aimed at making cyberspace safer, even though the Trump administration will not endorse it.
The state governments of Virginia, Colorado, and Washington state have all endorsed the Paris Call, which commits members to fighting cyberattacks, digital theft of intellectual property, and foreign election interference. The city governments of Louisville, KY, San Jose, CA, and Huntington, WV, also endorsed the call.
