Governments have been hacking into people’s privacy for years.
Some of the technology to do it is for sale and tens of thousand of politicians, journalists, lawyers and activists have been targeted.
The system’s called Pegasus. It’s from an Israeli spyware company called NSO.
Thanks to evidence collected by the Paris-based NGO Forbidden Stories and Amnesty International, it seems there are 50-thousand people whose phones have been selected.
Most of the numbers were in Gulf Countries and North Africa. But others include India, Pakistan and France.
So, how much of a threat is advanced technology to privacy and human rights?

Thanks to 4192_victor on IG, I can remotely see what my girlfriend is doing on whatsapp and ipad, she is so far away from me in the middle of this pandemic that I just need to make sure she is not talking to someone else because she is becoming very distant lately.

Stop calling them all human rights activists. Not all anti government personalities are for human rights
What I haven't seen is, it being mentioned to put a stop to this ability to hack the phones, changes to OS systems can be implicated, software can be put in place, protocols can be put in place, legislations can be brought out, but we hear nothing, every one is silent
THE NEWS SOURCE……. ASTONISHING PEDIGREE IN DEPTH ANALYSIS……..QUALITY PERSONEL…..WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE
ONE THING FOR SURE IT AIN'T …RT THE MOST REPUGNANT BIASED NEWS OUTLET…..ANYWHERE …JEEPS GOOD COMPANY WITH CHINA AND NORTH KOREA. KEEP UP THE STANDARDS . ….. AL JAZEERA

Israelis openly advertised that they have the most advanced technical power in the world. So it's pretty stupid "crying wolf" now.
Nice idea for you to spy but guys will become smarter with new ways to communicate.
A guest on The Wall Street Journal Report spoke sometime last week about making over $631,000 in 4months with a capital of $100,000, which made me realize that as a beginner i have alot to learn, so please assist me with any pointers or tips that would help me make this much profit.
It is not surprising that a company closely related to a regime that causes such untold misery to the Palestinians in the occupied territories is responsible for this unethical and illegal software. Depravity knows no limits.
God bless Israel 🇮🇱 and may GOD BLESS WISDOM KNOWLEDGE STRENGTH AMEN 🙏🏼 ISRAEL 🇮🇱 IS ONLY ONLY DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY IN MIDDLE EAST 🇮🇱🇮🇱💙❤️🙏🏼💙
This is a reasonable secret 🤫 service for political leaders etc …
Nobody care…
“The Israeli government has human rights responsibilities “. How quaint of you to say. Anyone who thinks for even a nanosecond that that government – or any other – takes that seriously is sleeping.
I am from India 💕💕
Why is Al Jazeera working to disinform the international community about the Ethiopian government when The Saudi Regime illegally spying on journalists and activists? Where is the UN to take those responsible to ICC for killing journalists?
Watch them try to stay a head of the truth coming out .
I don't know why people are so surprised, scared and amazed on pagasus, when Stewart Snowdon already revealed all these information in 2013. His crime was only he revealed the secret before taking permission from the controllers.
Stupid narrative – clearly the group amnesty international itself has retracted their statement saying this is a made-up “ list “ of people that could be targeted ( it’s hypothetical)
That's a very unfortunate that some countries who close to Israel are misusing the Pegasus against their opponents in one way or other , while , neglecting the fact of rules of global engagement ; However , the action should be taken against those who intact such a spyware for the illegal surveillance , and creating the way forward by which such a issues can be dealt with iron fist , Moreover , the Governmental organizations and other technological firms in different states should support Governments in the way so that they can tackle the growing flux of spying access , Hence , it is a need of hour to handle it with one way approach by putting in place accountability regulations for the completion of this task in more comprehensive way
profiles have different layers the government has access to almost everything. the question is if you can minimize your profile in relation to companies or the public.
And the so-called biggest and largest democracy is keeping close eye on freedom of journalists, lawyers and head of states! A filthy fish in the region!

Might explain why my phone is acting up on occasion, plus every time linking up to public wifi at a fast food restaurant, that person on a laptop who looks at me weird, closes up the laptop and leaves with a slightly concerned look.
One wonders at the efficiency of pegasus. How efficient has it been in stopping hamas rockets and internal riots??
an Israeli commission of inquiry??? When minister Shamed is a very close friend of NSO CEO???? And Bennet had a!ready advocated the use of pegasus to trace all citizens movements??
Lovely reporting .
May God curse Israel! Brings only mischief upon the land!
"Why is nothing being done" Its an Israeli company
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 FREE ASSANGE 🇦🇺 🥺✌️
Why Israel is not getting sanctions or their company as China and Russia are getting? Even they don't have any proof against them(China and Russia). Israel is caught red handed and still west is quiet. Just imagine this was done by China or Russia or any other country?
free assange
this work is alive and well alright at the bases of levels . What gets me is the young'ns being schooled by familiar adults to basically lie and deceive as a living . They show them how to steal into people homes via electronics/ electromagnetic means there by how to gather every thought word and deed every idiosyncratic notion , I see them here them jump up when they got something and run too the overseer and I notice their continence when thy move these young one are filling up with . .. a vile levers being pulled for thrill. until when when cutting into love of ones own? but how hallow can a child be and still stay alive. like rotting a youth from the inside to out so what so is it so it is ugly expendable units Sad so sad
Eid Mubarak my dear friends.
عید شما مبارک دوستان عزیز من ❤️❤️❤️
🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫
who Israel spying on countries and tecnologies to give them an edge?
Israel doesnt care about human rights. Its a lazze faire republic. Israel uber ales
More antisemitic propaganda from AJ.
Actually Israel is World's no 1 Terrorist Country and Terrorism generates
Israel…who would've guessed….
Hand rubbing intensifies
AJ obsession with Israel is continues. This is the 6th video on the same subject.
The "evidence" is alleged, not proven.
Love alzazira tv!
Thanks Israel.
This is so scary hey, especially for countries that are police states. We all have nothing to hide until who we are is the reason we are targeted.
is there a country that does not target it citizens? The respects human rights? Since there is not one this is a non issue
NSO is it a desibdeing name of Country I ask because I have a area that N.S.O is aye city of San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge human transportation ground travel of the civilians of the city NSO commonly speaks of the international air ports of the area of city named North Side Oakland.
This is insight story but bulshit story. Since crime commmited is not Russia or china or iran, as u see the report is very different. If this was China or russia we will bad mouthing for weeks non stop
good luck guys – protect yourselves – we are in a new age
Give me government an inch and they take a mile.
