Pay your taxes, get spied on? EU citizens may be footing the bill for their own surveillance. Millions of euros, to be more precise. Public funding has ended up in the pockets of commercial spyware firms, whose tools have been used against journalists, lawmakers, and ordinary citizens.

🚨🇪🇺 EU cash💰 and taxpayer money in countries such as 🇮🇹Italy and 🇪🇸Spain are flowing to commercial #spyware firms, yet this public funding is not well-known or analysed. 🧵My investigation for @ftm.eu. 👇👇👇 www.ftm.eu/articles/spy...

Journalists are being massacred in Gaza and the U.S. is doing nothing to stop the bloodbath it’s bankrolling. Use our easy, new tool to tell Congress you’re fed up with the government’s inaction.

Io non so nemmeno come commentare. La Serie A (quelli di Piracy Shield, ricordate? Quelli disposti a bloccare mezza Internet pur di "fermare la pirateria") ha deciso di... trasmettere su YouTube le partite, gratis, in un certo numero di nazioni: www.reddit.com/r/singapore/...

BREAKING: Amnesty International research found illegal surveillance mass targeted surveillance with LIMS from Utimaco and Datafusion and Chinese commercialized Great Firewall provider active in Pakistan through a leak of documents of Geedge Networks. 🧵#BreakTheFirewall

Great Firewall Export: A new investigation by @amnesty.org and partners reveals how Geedge Networks, a Chinese company is commercializing the tech behind China's notorious "Great Firewall". A huge leak of Geedge data reveal their products, deployed in China, Pakistan, and Myanmar among others.

Are you attending Team CommUNITY’s Global Gathering? 🤩 Today we'll be hosting a booth on Bugbane, our new consensual mobile forensics app, between 15:30-17:30 at Booth 16. Come find us to say hello, and learn all about Bugbane and Osservatorio Nessuno! 🚫🐞

We have early access to Android Security Bulletin patches and will be able to set up a workflow where we can have releases already built and tested prior to the embargo ending. For now, we've still been doing the builds after the embargo ends. It will mainly help when they screw up pushing to AOSP.

We are announcing Bugbane, an open-source Android app that makes consensual mobile forensics more accessible. It's compatible with MVT and AndroidQF. Now in an open-beta, we are calling for community feedbacks before a general public release by EOY! osservatorionessuno.org/blog/2025/09...

EU-wide law proposal fraught with dangers https://www.europesays.com/2372572/ Chat Control proposal appears to disregard the right to privacy Like having the state read your letters before…

Mandatory digital IDs are moving from fiction to policy—rolled out by governments and corporations mostly without consultation. Sold as security, they risk cementing surveillance and exclusion as the new normal. Read more: bethics.com/the-coming-r... #DigitalID #Privacy #Surveillance #Dystopia

Police surveillance tech should not be secret! EFF settled a case to make sure that remains true. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This is why we created the Atlas of Surveillance: so journalists and other community members could easily discover what kinds of technology local police are using to spy on them. Kudos to @forwardky.bsky.social for shining a light on it! forwardky.com/are-you-bei...

This is what happens when you mandate backdoors. Eventually they are found :)

“If a cop is caught in a lie on the stand, it’s much easier for them to say the AI made that up as opposed to them saying you caught me lying in the report,” EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told @sfstandard.com.

In May, we began preparing to port to Android 16 despite our most active senior developer responsible for leading OS development being unavailable (bsky.app/profile/grap...). Android 16 launched today and porting is going to be significantly more difficult than we were expecting.

Il rapporto del COPASIR sul caso Graphite solleva nuove domande. Il trattamento che è stato riservato a giornalisti e attivisti è inaccettabile in uno stato democratico. Chiediamo trasparenza e risposte concrete al problema della sorveglianza di stato. osservatorionessuno.org/it/blog/2025...

We have finished going through the court docs and hearing transcripts from the WhatsApp v. NSO lawsuit. Here's everything we learned, from how NSO's customers use Pegasus, to the spyware's cost. techcrunch.com/2025/05/30/e...

We still need help getting early access to Android 16 sources prior to the stable release in June. Every mainstream Android OEM has it. We're currently spending significant time on reverse engineering Android 16 Beta releases. It's a huge waste compared to having what we need.

In the future, Spyware will simply gather all your information by querying the local LLM from your OS that learned by peeking into all of your private data. We need to stop this ASAP. The OS should not have this kind of access into third-party app data.

We're ready for Microsoft Recall and the automatic screenshots it takes of everything on your desktop. Signal Desktop on Windows now includes support for a new "Screen security" feature designed to block screenshots of your Signal chats. signal.org/blog/signal-...

Precisamente. L’AI generativa ha già fatto un danno forse non riparabile, distruggendo ogni possibile rapporto di fiducia tra chi studia e chi insegna. Sono queste le cose che portano una democrazia ad accettare il sospetto generalizzato — e cioè il regime.

Negli ultimi tre anni siamo stati coinvolti in dieci procedimenti giudiziari. In un Paese, l’Italia, dove la libertà di stampa è sempre più minacciata noi non possiamo, e non vogliamo restare in silenzio. La verità non si querela, difendiamola insieme. Diventa member: irpimedia.irpi.eu/membership/

Flock’s invasive new tool “will certainly help to bring expanded surveillance powers to police departments of all sizes that never needed this much information on any random person who happens to drive by,” EFF’s Beryl Lipton warned @404media.co.

“We live in an information society. Our information matters. And therefore, privacy matters. Your privacy is up for grabs and you need to care about it.” ✊💻 #PrivacyIsPossible with @privacyguides.org's trusted recommendations for essential privacy tools. www.privacyguides.org/videos/2025/...

Your location data isn’t just a pin on a map. It can reveal where you work, worship, protest, or seek healthcare—and it’s being harvested, sold, and weaponized. Lawmakers must act now to protect our privacy.

Government social media surveillance threatens free speech and privacy. Adding AI only compounds the harms. This makes the Trump administration’s "Catch and Revoke" program especially dangerous to our constitutional rights.

In the first 100 days alone, the Trump administration has: - Deleted 1000s of datasets - Closed agencies’ FOIA offices - Used disappearing messaging apps - Mass-fired IGs It’s hard to imagine what the next 1,361 days of the administration will hold. freedom.press/the-classifi...

Remember when then-FBI Director Comey said in 2014 that the “post-Snowden pendulum has swung too far” in favor of privacy?

Arriva la conferma: Il Governo ha utilizzato il software militare di sorveglianza Paragon Graphite per spiare attivisti, giornalisti e oppositori politici. Questo attacco alla libertà personale è una minaccia per tutti e un danno permanente alla democrazia. mediterranearescue.org/it/news/i-se...

E perché si usa uno spyware per "intercettare persone legate al mondo dell'immigrazione"? Ma siamo diventati un regime di polizia e non interessa a nessuno, o leggo male io?
