as best i can tell, this person wrote too many words to say:
1. cellebrite is ultimately good because it allows governments to spy on, harass, imprison, terrorize, torture, and murder its citizens, esp its journalist citizens, and
2. moxie used the wrong tone in his blog post.
something tells me this person doesn't think of themself as a typical government hack, which is presumably the only reason this blog post would be interesting enough to HN to show up here?
also interesting that this person thinks that cellebrite only sells their tech to 'authoritarian' governments.
which ones are those?
- saagarjha 5y agoThe post quite literally lists these out: > But Cellebrite has lots of customers besides U.S. law enforcement agencies. And some of them aren’t so nice. As Signal’s blog post notes, “Their customer list has included authoritarian regimes in Belarus, Russia, Venezuela, and China; death squads in Bangladesh; military juntas in Myanmar; and those seeking to abuse and oppress in Turkey, UAE, and elsewhere.”
