I'm pretty sure the mobs in question consider themselves "fair" and "tolerant". It's just framing oneself as the good side that stands against the evil "intolerants" hereby justifying the means in one

As someone who is just learning coding in Python again, the amount of available learning material and projects create the luxury problem of overabundance. It's like drinking from a fire-hose as it's nearly impossible to discern th

It's probably a step-up from just using a phone or phablet but with a Raspi you'd still need (compatible) monitors. No idea what the availability and markup is for these though reliable electricity might be another issue for remot

It's a typical PR strategy for damage control to only admit what you can not longer plausibly deny.

Dragging the reporting on this a bit out prevents it from being easily buried under a single (manufactured) 'distraction'[0] news cycle in US media. Also this gives NSO the opportunity to hang themself with their own rope: have NS

Possible. But they rely on the infrastructure AWS, Linode or DigitalOcean provide in order to fly under the radar among legitimate traffic. If all of these service providers were to blacklist NSO, Candiru or Cellebrite those would have to f

It's not a contradiction. Whoever would have ordered NSO or similar actor to hack Bezos' phone is probably after more juicy info than a dick pic or at least wouldn't leak it for 'lulz' and thereby revealing that the

No, it's just you. Yesterday we had worldwide coordinated reports of shady Israeli companies getting innocent people killed and suddenly there's haphazard "breaking news" report on big bad CHHHIIIINNNAAA.

China is just the bogeyman of the hour. If it were more politically convenient to blame Russia or Iran you'd suddenly find the same evidence pointing a different way.

It's probably better than doing nothing but it doesn't sound very effective. With zero-click they'd just reinfect the device immediately.

Without programmers disregarding ethics these companies would have nothing to sell. My proposition is to put known employees of these companies on a blacklist for conferences like CanSecWest or similar.

I wouldn't go so far and drag Judaism into this. At least it's an interesting question why so many shady companies seem to operate out of Israel.

This has been my observation as well. The danger is in increasing the extremist rhetoric in an attempt to outdo competing anti-establishment "gurus"/anti-vax influencers in their fight to attract and retain paying followers.
