Governments claim they hack people to prevent "crime and terrorism," but @nytimes finds even democracies are now routinely hacking "human rights activists, journalists, religious leaders and dissidents." An important story, and perhaps a final warning: nytimes.com/2019/11/09/tec…

Much of this 'assistance' involves using aid money to fund surveillance, including wiretapping tech, IMSI Catchers, phone forensics, predictive policing, biometrics, drones etc. See our analysis from earlier this year privacyinternational.org/news-analysis/…
