Digital technologies are being used to gatekeep asylum systems.

"Asylum Is Unavailable," a new book by @StephenDamianos exposes how the Greek Asylum Service used a skype line between 2014 and 2022 as part of a digital push back against asylum seekers.

Surveillance isn’t inevitable. We can fight back — in court, in parliaments, in the streets.
Workshops with @amnestytech, Papertrail Media & others helped activists secure their devices.
Huge thanks to @accessnow, @RSF_inter, Tactical Tech & all speakers. 📷 @chrisgrodotzki

The Stasi needed 300,000 people to spy on dissidents.
Today, governments can do it with a few clicks. Pegasus, Cellebrite & co. infiltrate our phones, turning intimate lives into data. Used even within the EU — they’re an always-illegitimate tool of control.

We met in Berlin to resist digital authoritarianism.
Experts, journalists & activists shared ways to expose & fight state spyware. As @DavidYambio - himself targeted - said: Privacy is breached, trust eroded, and there’s no real support for the aftermath. #StopSpyware

Visual investigations are transforming how human rights evidence is gathered — and challenged.

How do orgs like @amnesty and @ForensicArchi @counterinv navigate this shifting terrain of truth and accountability?

Die #Chatkontrolle ist ein massiver Eingriff in die Grundrechte. Wenn sie kommt, wird es keine verschlüsselte und sichere Kommunikation in Europa mehr geben.

Das gilt es bei der Abstimmung im EU-Rat nächste Woche zu verhindern. Denn es geht um unsere Freiheit.

Love or hate digital surveillance? 
Either way (looking at you, GroKo👀), you should come to our event at HAU in two weeks, to discuss w/ a splendid group of speakers how to investigate and resist the global surveillance crisis.

[Christoffer Horlitz @c_horlitz]

We’ll conclude with a panel with Sophie In ’t Veld (Former MEP & Pegasus Inquiry Rapporteur), @DonnchaC (@AmnestyTech Security Lab), @DavidYambio (Founder of Refugees in Libya and spyware target). Moderated by Yolanda Rother.

Pakistan is running a huge unlawful surveillance and censorship system.

It is built with foreign tech and carried out without warrants and safeguards, this is enabling human rights abuses on a massive scale. #BreakTheFirewall

Wenn eines wichtig ist in diesen verstörenden, beängstigenden Zeiten, gerade auch für queere Menschen, dann das: dass wir nicht leiser werden. https://t.co/J2KIHRvcKP
