Surveillance of people is a contravention of their human rights.
Yet it happens everyday. Not just by NSO Pegasus spyware.
This is Big Tech’s business model: the surveillance of every human being to more accurately predict their behaviour.

The UN flagged this as a problem in 2019.
Here’s the report that was generated at the time.

The ability to surveil human beings, without their knowledge & permission, then use that data to shape their behaviour or reveal their activities is dangerous.

Every person online is targeted. What was once private personal experience now surpasses oil in value.
Smart phones have become tracking devices and cameras and microphones are accessible to surveillance. There are no laws adequately restraining this behaviour and capacity.

I know the article deals with the NSO data leak and surveillance of government officials, journalists and human rights activists. But the capacity to surveil every human being exists and remains unregulated.
Like the internet, it’s the Wild Wild West. There are no regulations.

Who remains the biggest opponent to regulation of the internet or technology that harvests personal private experience?
Conservatives.
Identified targets of NSO are concerning. Government leaders, journalists and human rights activists.

People in positions of power who protect or inform the public.
Like Jamal Khashoggi, permanent resident of the US, Washington Post investigative journalist, murdered by Saudi loyalists of MbS. For the crime of criticizing MbS’s human rights record and Donald Trump in general.

Macron, the President of a G7 nation, was on the list of leaked data.

If there’s a reason to aim for a majority government, if only to be able to develop, approve and bring royal assent to legislation that protects privacy, the personal experience of every human being and protects those who fight for robust human rights legislation, this is it.
There are many other reasons to call a federal election right now in Canada. But this is a big one.
It’s our federal government’s responsibility to protect those most vulnerable and those whose job it is to protect the most vulnerable.
