Hardly anyone talks about anymore now that the word can be used to describe almost every major website and a significant amount of commonly used software and apps.

These days, it's only spyware if it's made in Russia or China. Otherwise, it's just sparkling espionage. 🍾 🥂

Reading what they’re replying to, we’ve gotta ask:

Who is the real “Napster” here?

Anytime a new privacy app/tool pops up, you're right to be initially skeptical. How the FBI secretly ran its own tech startup to wiretap the world:

It is easy to just think this kind of things is normal, but IMHO we must never accept that. We should expect more than this from tech companies. I actually think most would not go this far!

When surveillance tech is marketed as jewelry:

"Tab is a small, circular pendant that hangs around your neck and listens to you and those around you."

"Rewind Pendant is a wearable that captures what you say and hear in the real world" (and makes it searchable with a "personalized AI")

"The Humane AI pin has indicated that the pin will have always-on listening capabilities."

Is this really the future most consumers want?

1/3 🚨 # Spyware can turn a phone into a real-time spying device. EU lawmakers and journalists are becoming targets of this #surveillance tech.

Just last month Brussels was rocked by a spyware scandal.

What will it take for the EU to finally act against #spyware?

Domande e risposte: John Scott-Railton di Citizen Lab sulla lotta alla continua minaccia di #Pegasus

Da quando abbiamo scritto un anno fa, Pegasus è stato rilevato sui cellulari di giornalisti nella Repubblica Dominicana, India, Giordania, Armenia e Togo. È stato anche messo sul telefono di Galina Timchenko, la fondatrice del giornale russo in esilio Meduza, forse da uno stato membro dell'UE

When we @citizenlab first confirmed the hacking in 2021 both we & victims were targeted w/extensive harassment & disinformation.
