1. Must read @josemariairujo @el_pais on the #UCGlobal's espionage operations against Julian #Assange and all of us inside the @EmbajadaEcuUK (Spanish): elpais.com/internacional/…
@josemariairujo @el_pais @EmbajadaEcuUK 2. As a journalist heavily targeted by #UCGlobal which spied on my convos, unscrewed my phones, spied on ALL my electronic devices [ARCHIVE]: repubblica.it/esteri/2019/11…, it's crucial to make #UCGlobal and the #USintelligence accountable
@josemariairujo @el_pais @EmbajadaEcuUK 3. it's crucial #UCGlobal and the #USintelligence are accountable not just because the espionage ops against are appalling, but because it's crucial to understand to what extent #cryptography protected our materials and information from our sources
@josemariairujo @el_pais @EmbajadaEcuUK 4.back in 2009,when I started my work in partnership with #WikiLeaks,I did so because one of my journalistic sources had stopped talking to me as she was scared. It was at that point that I realised the old fashioned techniques to protect sources were just useless
@josemariairujo @el_pais @EmbajadaEcuUK 5. Being a mathematician,for me it was natural to look at #cryptography as a tool to protect my journalistic sources. And it was one of my high-profile sources in #cryptography who put #WikiLeaks on my radar screen in 2009, because #WikiLeaks was using #crypto to protect sources
@josemariairujo @el_pais @EmbajadaEcuUK 6. I tell this story in our book #InDefenseofJulianAssange by @orbooks edited by @granmarga and @TariqAli_News orbooks.com/catalog/in-def… 11years later,by suing #UCGlobal and the #USintelligence for their espionage ops,I might discover if #cryptography really protected my sources
@josemariairujo @el_pais @EmbajadaEcuUK @orbooks @granmarga @TariqAli_News 7. it's kind of stress test for me and my sources: if #UCGlobal and the #USintelligence were able to access my #encryptedData, all my efforts to protect my sources in the last 11 years have been useless. I've spent so much time,money,energies to protect sources,so it's CRUCIAL
