#Pegasus #PEGA #EU
This committee of the European Parliament was tasked with investigating the violations committed by spyware within the European Union.
In the aftermath of the Pegasus scandal, the ECCP has advocated to the PEGA Committee on the three following points:
That spyware technology is dangerous and that the commercial exchange of vulnerabilities gives unstoppable power in the hands of any who buys the technology. Even law enforcement agencies can use spyware without accountability and exceed limitations set by court orders on surveillance without leaving a trace.
That Israeli spyware companies sell a product which was tested on Palestinians in the course of the Israeli occupation, apartheid policies and the oppression of civil society organizations. False accusations of terrorism were justified by “evidence” collected by spyware among other means, which turned out to be falsified.

The findings of the PEGA inquiry are shocking and they should alarm every European citizen. It is evident that the trade in, and use of spyware should be strictly regulated. The PEGA committee will make a series of recommendations to that effect." https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-9-2023-0189_EN.pdf" #Pegasus #NSO #EU #PEGA

Israeli spyware companies were the first to turn this weapon technology into a commercial product. Once they let the genie out of the bottle, it became a race to the bottom for control over it. After serving in intelligence units which employed spyware against Palestinian civilians as part of the enforcement of the Israeli apartheid regime, Israeli intelligence officers set up private companies, and with approval and support of the Israeli ministry of defense proceeded to sell spyware to Europe, the US and the rest of the globe, including to some of the world’s worst authoritarian regimes, to be used against journalists, lawyers and human rights activists. For the Israeli government, spyware became a currency with which to buy diplomatic favor around the world.#spyware #PEGA #EU #Pegasus #NSO #Israel #Palestine #Apartheid #BDS
