@assemblea_int Thanks for the shoutout! Small note, devices will be delivered on April 20th in a single batch, when the 3 remaining complainants are scheduled to declare.
⚠️ S'obre la instrucció al Jutjat núm. 2 de la querella per l'espionatge amb Pegasus i Candiru contra cinc desenvolupadors de codi obert.
És l'única causa penal al món que investiga els fabricants de Candiru👇
@Joan_Arus, president de Sentinel Alliance: «Se'ns va espiar per desenvolupar eines de codi obert. Publicar codi no és un delicte. Espiar-nos amb programari de grau militar perquè les eines que construíem incomodaven les agències d'intel·ligència de l'Estat, sí».
Today 80 governments use mercenary spyware to suppress and surveil civil society.
In his talk at our Cypherpunk Congress @Joan_Arus x @SentinelSwiss addressed necessity for governments to be accountable for using spyware, presented case of @jbaylina & invited legal professionals, technologists and activists unite.
Watch the talk, support Sentinel Alliance Association:
