My thoughts on Pegasus (spyware).

For those unaware, NSO Group, an Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, has developed a spyware called Pegasus many years ago that has been notorious for its surveillance activities targeting human rights activists, journalists, and even the damn lawyers. And you know what is an even bigger issue here? Pegasus is also being sold to leaders of various countries, regardless of their reputation. If you’ve got an interest in learning more about the countries involved, I have provided a link at the end of this blog. 

If you visit NSO Group’s website, you will come across their attempt to justify their actions by claiming they are focused on finding terrorists. But honestly? It’s clear that they are just another morally shitty group attempting to play cool in their field. One cannot help but question why they choose to spy on human rights activists and sell their spyware to countries with fucked up leaders that you could consider as dictator? Because the reality is, in our capitalist world, we make profit by selling evil goods to evil monsters without thinking of the consequences. It shouldn’t be surprising considering how the firearm market functions.

I’m really busy today. I could write a lot more about this topic but check the pages I linked below if you’re interested.
