This Is How To Check If Your Phone For Pegasus spyware

 

Verge: Here’s how to check your phone for Pegasus spyware using Amnesty’s tool  

The process involves some terminal work, but it’s relatively straightforward 

Amnesty International — part of the group that helped break the news of journalists and heads of state being targeted by NSO’s government-grade spyware, Pegasus — has released a tool to check if your phone has been affected. 

Alongside the tool is a great set of instructions, which should help you through the somewhat technical checking process. 

Using the tool involves backing up your phone to a separate computer and running a check on that backup. 

Read on if you’ve been side-eyeing your phone since the news broke and are looking for guidance on using Amnesty’s tool.

I'm sure we all are spied on.
It's just the new normal now. We all live in east Germany before the wall came down, and we all are spied on by an out of control totalitarian spy and control apparatus, a deep state mixed with corporate oligarch ghouls, and they expect us not to speak up. It's really a nightmare, people who push such tyranny are anti human. They might as well be aliens for all we know, the outcome is the same.. the world population is targeted for reeducation, dumbing down, all rights taken, political prisoners everywhere, private prisons everywhere, private deplatforming, censoring ON BEHALF of the government, ie fascist censorship...

Boy, since Democrats "got elected"(Lol!) things look very dystopian, don't they?

And you know they'll use another lockdown

And they'll keep pushing unsafe drugs.

And they'll keep suppressing the voices of actual scientists and Nobel prize winners who spoke out not only about the PCR false positive test scandal and money racketeering scheme by hospitals and insurance companies and pharma companies by the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS(!), but even the inventor of the mRNA vaccination/ delivery technology spoke out against it (I have to look up his name, specialisation but he is the actual mRNA guy this whole thing is based on and he wants it stopped and the complicit corrupt media and big tech suppresses him and anyone who speaks out on this scandal too

It's been going on for ages now you must do your homework, do the research, here's an easy to digestible video but listen to the actual scientists, I've done it, they speak against it.

This is also good (David knight is an investigative journalist who covered tons of corporate and governmental corruption, really can recommend him.. he's up there with glen Greenwald or better, and matt taibi

To hear some pundits and Republicans tell it, millions of people across the country who voted for Donald Trump are suffering from an affliction that you might call “Snowflake Syndrome.”

On numerous fronts in our politics — from voting rights to covid-19 to the legacy of Jan. 6 — we’re being told these voters are afflicted with a deeply fragile belief system that must be carefully ministered to and humored to an extraordinary degree.

We must pass voting restrictions everywhere to assuage these voters’ “belief” that the 2020 election was highly dubious or fraudulent. We must not argue too aggressively for coronavirus vaccines, lest they feel shamed and retreat into their anti-vax epistemological shells.

And we must allow Republicans to appoint some of the most deranged promoters of the stolen election myth to a committee examining the insurrection so they’ll feel like its findings are credible.

To be clear, showing empathy with voters on the other side is of course something we should generally strive for. And there are surely ways to appeal to voters with doubts about 2020 or vaccines that are more constructive than others.

But in many ways, this story line is deeply insulting to those voters themselves and is being abused for all manner of bad-faith purposes. Several new developments underscore this perfectly.

In Texas, Republican state legislators are pushing a new bill to require an audit of the 2020 results, one conducted by a third party appointed by top Republicans.

But tellingly, as The Post reports, the audit would be required only for the largest counties — virtually all of which backed President Biden.

This is being justified by the notion that Republican voters no longer “believe in their election system,” as its chief sponsor, Republican state Rep. Steve Toth, put it.

But why audit just in larger counties? Behold this remarkable answer:

While Toth said he would support a statewide effort, he also argued the undertaking would be too expensive and time-consuming. Asked if he would consider including some smaller counties, Toth replied, “What’s the point? I mean, all the small counties are red.”

Republican voters don’t lack confidence in the system in counties they won; they lack it only in counties populated by a lot of Democratic voters. So let’s focus on auditing those!

This represents a particularly egregious abuse of the “GOP voters lack confidence” malarkey, but it’s everywhere. It’s used to justify sham audits in Arizona and in Georgia, and voter suppression in many other states.

To be sure, one can envision worthwhile compromises that combine expanded voting protections with a form of national voter ID. And it’s plausible the latter could inspire some confidence among Republican voters not wholly captive to Trump’s lies about 2020.

But many are also floating a destructive Snowflake Syndrome story line as well: the notion that vaccine hesitancy in red states is a reaction to how Democrats are talking about vaccines, a claim freighted with all manner of ridiculous hyperbole.
