Spyware called Pegasus, sold to governments by a company called the NSO Group, cracks mobile phones to spy on their usage. Amnesty International was given access to a list of 50,000 alleged surveillance targets. Not all those numbers were in fact targeted, but many of them were. This demonstrates that Pegasus is regularly used for purposes of spying and repression.

*At least 180 journalists in 20 countries have been targeted,* or at least are on the target list.

Also lawyers and activists.

Morocco considered spying on French President Macron's phone. Likewise some French ministers. One minister provided his phone for examination; it showed signs of spying.

In India, it seems that Modi's right-wing antdemocratic party BJP used Pegasus against the Congress Party, including apparently against its leader, Rahul Gandhi. One of his supporters calls for banning Amnesty as punishment for revealing the BJP's wrongdoing. That's Modi for you.

Speaking of Modi, there is evidence that the Emir of Dubai used Pegasus to find Princess Latifa on a boat so that Modi's soldiers could grab her.

In Hungary, Orbán's repressive government is spying on his opponents.

Current Mexican president AMLO says that the previous Mexican president spied on many people's phones, including perhaps AMLO's own phone.

The country that spied on Britons seems to be the UAE.

The NSO Group says that it tells its clients to use the spying software only against "crime and terrorism," then takes on faith that they are sticking to that rule.

The company emphasizes that it does check not what client countries actually do with it, but we are supposed to have faith in them too.

As we know, unjust governments often make dissent a crime, and/or call it terrorism.

Other methods have been used for over 20 years at least to use mobile phones as listening devices.

To put a stop to this, and other means of spying through portable phones, we need phones that are designed for real security and in which all the software is free, including the software in the modem processor.

Ghana is considering a law to imprison homosexuals for 10 years, along with anyone who aids homosexuals or defends equal rights for them.
