We met in Berlin to resist digital authoritarianism.
Experts, journalists & activists shared ways to expose & fight state spyware. As @davidyambio.bsky.social

Very insightful thread by @jsrailton.bsky.social, extracting key elements from the unredacted filings published in connections to Whatsapp's court proceedings against NSO Group. #stopspyware

This previously-unrevealed "Erised" vector was later disabled by WhatsApp.

These un-redacted filings are quite the read. Even some footnotes have scoops. 1/
