DESCRIPTION:Authoritarian and rights-abusing regimes are increasingly using
	 malicious\nspyware to surveil and intimidate journalists\, threatening pr
	ess freedom around\nthe world. Late last year\, the Knight Institute filed
	 a lawsuit on behalf of\njournalists and other members of El Faro—one of C
	entral America’s leading\nindependent news organizations. Over a 16-month 
	period\, El Faro’s employees were\nsubjected to more than 200 attacks that
	 relied on NSO Group’s Pegasus\ntechnology. Their iPhones were accessed re
	motely and surreptitiously\, their\ncommunications and activities were mon
	itored\, and their personal data was\naccessed and stolen. What implicatio
	ns does the proliferation of spyware have\nfor press freedom\, democracy\,
	 and human rights? And what can be done to hold\naccountable the companies
	 that sell this technology\, and the governments (and\nothers) who use it 
	against journalists?\n\nDate\nWednesday\, February 8th\, 2023\nTime\n7:30
