The Spyware Governments Use to Silence Dissent
Journalists, activists, and human rights defenders are being targeted and silenced daily by authoritarian governments that fear losing power. One of the deadliest tools used against them is Pegasus—a powerful cyber-surveillance weapon that puts lives at risk.
In this interview, I sit down with Laurent Richard, founder of Forbidden Stories and co-author of Pegasus. His team broke the story on Pegasus spyware and built a global network to safeguard journalists working on dangerous stories. Learn how Pegasus operates, the fight to protect freedom of the press, and how we can combat digital surveillance before it’s too late.

Cyber surveillance is a military weapon wielded against civilians, actually putting human lives in danger. We must protect journalists, activists, dissidents, and all vulnerable individuals from powerful, corrupt organizations as they risk everything to expose the truth. Together, we must signal to the world that we demand a future where technology serves us—free from the fear of surveillance.
