“U.S. National Privacy Legislation” ADCG Podcast: Ep. 41 - Pegasus and privacy
The recent Pegasus incident, involving an advanced form of spyware used by countries against activists, journalists, and political leaders from rival nations, triggered a backlash and raised privacy concerns. The Pegasus Project, consisting of more than 80 journalists from 17 news organizations in more than 10 countries, has been investigating the use of the technology by governments and has been working through a list of 50,000 cell phones of journalists, activists, dissidents, individuals, cabinet members, and government officials reportedly monitored by the Pegasus technology. In this week's episode, Jerry and Jody explore what role these reports might play in raising awareness of privacy issues in Congress, and how this might shape the national privacy legislation debate by underscoring the need for government oversight.
