#CyberSecurity #CyberMercenaries #Hacking #Censorship #India: "Cyber mercenaries present a grave threat to human rights and freedom of expression. They have been implicated in surveillance, torture, and even murder of human rights defenders, political candidates, and journalists. One of the most effective ways that the human rights community pushes back against the threat of targeted surveillance and cyber mercenaries is to investigate and expose these companies and their owners and customers.

But for the last several months, there has emerged a campaign of bullying and censorship seeking to wipe out stories about the mercenary hacking campaigns of a less well-known company, Appin Technology, in general, and the company’s cofounder, Rajat Khare, in particular. These efforts follow a familiar pattern: obtain a court order in a friendly international jurisdiction and then misrepresent the force and substance of that order to bully publishers around the world to remove their stories.

We are helping to push back on that effort, which seeks to transform a very limited and preliminary Indian court ruling into a global takedown order. We are representing Techdirt and MuckRock Foundation, two of the news entities asked to remove Appin-related content from their sites."

@eff the sheer capability to do #WarrantlessSurveillance should be outlawed and those that continue to do so - including but not limited to #Cybermercenaries for hire like #NSOgroup - should be prosecuted like the #terorrists they are.

#NSOgroup and #Unit8200 should be designated as #TerroristOrganizations...

#Govware is always bad and #NSO is even worse as they're #Cybermercenaries for hire.

@GossiTheDog He doesn't outlaw #Govware tho, thus only upsetting control-freaks too lazy to use #Microsoft365's Dashboard, but not even discomforting #NSO and #Zerodium as #Cybermercenaries For Hire...
@JosephMenn IMHO #NSO and other #CyberMercenaries should be outlawed as the #TerorristOrganization it is!
