Yes, I wouldn't be as diplomatic as Szwarc in describing these idiots who have no clue neither about Holocaust nor vaccines 🀷

@strypey

"President Raul Castro's government said Friday that it will allow anyone in the country to get cell phone service, a right previously limited to executives working for foreign companies or high communist party officials."

" The first legalised home computers have gone on sale in Cuba, but a ban remains on internet access. "

@fuxoft

The idea of rule of law that our civilisation is based on assumes that nobody is guilty unless independent court determines so, and surveillance is only allowed if there's a reasonable suspicion of a crime being committed. Yours is more of a Soviet one.

French Holocaust survivor Joseph Szwarc has denounced anti-vaccination protesters comparing themselves to Jews who were persecuted by Nazi Germany during World War II.

@fuxoft

Literally everyone in the society is a "potential terrorist" by your definition, and everyone should be subject to surveillance then, right?

@fuxoft

You seem to be using a private and rather unusual definition of "terrorism" then πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@fuxoft

The context is pretty clear from the OCCR publications - Panyi for example started getting under surveillance after he started investigating money laundering by Hungarian politicians.

Surely, this might have been just a coincidence and he might have at the same been planning a terror attack πŸ˜‰

@fuxoft

"A dozen of journalists". These people were never charged with any criminal or terrorist offences.

@vfrmedia

I have also noticed the coloured areas in UK! Maybe it goes through academic cooperation?

@greenpeace_ch

You, , have specifically acted against IPCC advice by unrolling an anti-scientific campaign against low-carbon nuclear power, directly leading to countries like Germany or Belgium replacing it with coal and fossil gas. You have sabotaged IPCC on par with the fossil fuel companies.

@fuxoft

There was no such statement in my post 🀷 I was speaking about very specific, named journalists who have been spied on and blackmailed with no terrorist or criminal accusations raised against them ever.

After the tragic flood in Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ it's worth noting that EU πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί operates an international EFAS monitoring and forecast system

@fuxoft Just read their Transparency report. What they say there is completely inconsistent with the cases highlighted by OCCRP. Which you should also read, because clearly "blackmailing" and "collecting dirt" by a law enforcement agency has little to do with criminal investigation.

What NSO Group says in their "Transparency report" on :

> Fact: Data is collected only from individual, pre-identified suspected criminals and terrorists.

What investigation actually demonstrated is a dozen of *journalists,* not "criminals" or "terrorists", being spied on, for example in Hungary πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ί

My former $DAYJOB, @OCCRP, is part of the investigative journalism team that was working on the #Pegasus project. They already published some stories:

More to come, I hear.

I am very happy to see investigative journalists finally shining a light on the very people who target them and put them in (sometimes mortal) danger. Shady companies like NSO Group absolutely hate this. Here's hoping we see more of this kind of reporting in the future!

@s0

Nice garden πŸ‘ What are the yellow things hanging in the background β€” they look edible 😁

@strypey

Yes. Not only mobiles, but also personal computers were illegal before 2007, as "counterrevolutionary".

@strypey

China and Russia do trade with whomever they want without looking at US, so this argument makes no sense in 2021.
