The decision also means that Assange will not face punishment for publishing one of the CIA’s most potent arsenals of digital code used to hack devices, dubbed Vault 7. The leak — one of the most devastating in CIA history — not only essentially rendered those tools useless for the CIA, it gave foreign spies and rogue hackers access to them. – mass surveillance, hacking, crimes of the secret services.

Dan Damon on BBC World Update discusses Pegasus 3 spyware, developed by Israelis, that can spy on Smart Phones and the Saudis used to spy on Khashoggi. A vulnerability in WhatsApp has allowed attackers to inject commercial Israeli spyware on phones, the Financial Times reported, citing the messaging app company and a spyware technology dealer. WhatsApp discovered in early May that attackers were able to install surveillance software on to iPhones and Android phones by calling up targets using the app’s call function, the FT said in an article on May 13. The malicious code is developed by the secretive Israeli company NSO Group and can be transmitted to users even if they did not answer their phones, with the calls often disappearing from the call log, according to the spyware dealer who was briefed on the WhatsApp hack.

Petition: Mayor Marvin Rees and Cllr Asher Craig, Bristol City Council: Pause Bristol’s 5G Rollout. Campaign created by Sally Beare. The 5G Appeal, signed by 233 scientists, states that “The current ICNIRP ”safety guidelines” are obsolete. All proofs of harm mentioned above arise although the radiation is below the ICNIRP “safety guidelines”. Therefore new safety standards are necessary. The reason for the misleading guidelines is that “conflict of interest of ICNIRP members due to their relationships with telecommunications or electric companies undermine the impartiality that should govern the regulation of Public Exposure Standards for non-ionizing radiation”. We believe Bristol City Council should invoke the precautionary principle and pause the rollout of this as yet untested technology.
