- kingcharles 5y agoLOL, all diplomats are "diplomats" when push comes to shove.
- TMWNN 5y agoYes, but you are correct in another way. If the US diplomats Uganda used the NSO technology to spy on are intelligence agents, they still possess diplomatic immunity. They are in Uganda with cover (as opposed to non-cover; that is, they are in country without being a public US goernment employee).
- seoaeu 5y agoQuite likely, answering that question was one of the top reasons why Uganda did this in the first place!
- stefan_ 5y agoSurely if they were "diplomats" we shouldn't need Apple to send them a mail to know their phones are compromised (by such an obvious trojan, even)?
