 I've been under surveillance for a seven-month period back in 2019. My phone was hacked every other week. What we see is a very clear pattern that investigative journalists, reporters trying to uncover corruption, high-level government corruption, abuses of power. So we were all working on very sensitive stories. Technology development, unfortunately, it's being used against not only journalists, but against human rights defenders and NGOs who can be qualified as dissenting voices. For example, Pegasus, it's supposed to be used to combat narco-traffit and organized crime, but instead of that, what we see in other countries is journalists who have been victims of these surveillance, have suffered harassment, or have been killed. This manifests in creating fear on journalists and silencing them. Surveillance entails an indignity to our professional life and our private life. Journalists should not be treated as criminals or terrorists. The technological development must be used to combat criminals, not dissenting voices.
