"Snowden said commercial malware such as Pegasus was so powerful that ordinary people could in effect do nothing to stop it. Asked how people could protect themselves, he said: βWhat can people do to protect themselves from nuclear weapons?"
@davidoclubb I wonder if the vulnerabilities are at the operating system level, or whether they go deeper? Great news if all we (geeks) have to do is switch to a more obscure mobile OS but:
1. That's not currently a viable solution for most people
2. If it were, they'd find a way to hack different OS's
3. If it's on the hardware level, every phone accepts SMS

@dajbelshaw @davidoclubb UAE states have government mandated backdoors in their OS'. Which is who pegasus was being sold to.
Think of the natural progression of EU's chatcontrol.
