Remember #Predator mercenary spyware was delivered to #RSF, the militia attempting the coup in #Sudan right now.

Reporters described the tech as having the "potential to tip the balance of power"

2/ It won't just be #Sudan.

It isn't abundantly clear, commercial #spyware proliferation is on track to play a growing role in geopolitical instability. Image
Was it worth it? This is exactly the question.

Without oversight and control, unfortunately, this will keep happening.

The electoral law in #Greece & why changing it (again!) now would be another hit to the already suffering #democracy 🧵

Greece does not have a stable electoral system enshrined in its constitution. This means that electoral laws can & do change from time to time. 1/
Since the 1974 restoration of democracy, Greece has mostly used a so-called ‘reinforced proportionality’ system that is proportional only in name, as it tends to disproportionately benefit the largest party & excludes smaller ones due to a 3% threshold for entering parliament. 2/
The long-established parties of the post-authoritarian era (ND & PASOK) have historically tended to tweak or change the electoral law with the aim to undermine opponents & benefit themselves. 3/

Elezioni #Grecia, avviso ai populisti italiani e di tutto il mondo: il popolo è pronto a vendicarsi di #Tsipras, il leader di #Syriza che promise questo mondo e quell'altro. Per poi consegnare il suo paese alla Troika

@finanza_com @pelias01 @Miti_Vigliero @ricpuglisi @carloalberto @MaurilioVitto @EugenioCardi @AlienoGentile @albertobisin 1/Stando all'esito del sondaggio Alco, #Syriza avrebbe ora il sostegno del 24,3% dell'elettorato, ben al di sotto di quello di Nuova Democrazia, pari al 34%. #Tsipras, da salvatore è diventato traditore, dicendo sì alla troika
@finanza_com @pelias01 @Miti_Vigliero @ricpuglisi @carloalberto @MaurilioVitto @EugenioCardi @AlienoGentile @albertobisin 2/Ai greci importa poco che tassi a 10 anni siano scesi in misura significativa a partire dal 2015, da quando #Tsipras è diventato premier. I tassi oscillano oggi appena sopra 2%, rispetto al 3,5% di due mesi fa. All'apice della crisi, erano volati al 44%.

Ah, the #EuropeanParliamentElection knocks at the door! Let’s see who is #campaigning for what…In #Italy, a #rightwingcoalition calls for a #guaranteedincome, #largerpensions, and resistance to the heavy-handed #austerityprograms enforced by the #EuropeanUnion.
In #France, some #rightwinggroups champion #fight against #climatechange, decry #exploitation of #foreignworkers, growing #economicinequality. What about the #centerright and #centerleft parties? #Polls show they will lose their #majority, and the Euroskeptics bag 30+% of seats.
However, #Euroskeptic, like #populist, is a term that obscures more than it reveals. #Spain’s leftist #Podemos isn’t likely to break bread with #Italy’s rightist #NorthernLeague-#M5S, but both are considered #Euroskeptic. Some are really #wolves but wear #sheepskins.
