“I think it should be clear to many at this point that it’s not “am I being spied on?” It’s “who is spying on me?” Information has always been - and will always be - the greatest currency, worth more than money, gold & diamonds. This reporting takes an incredibly deep dive into how the surveillance is connected between countries, businesses & interest groups. While Jamal Khashoggi will never have justice, reporters & their friends, associates etc need to increase their vigilance around communication practices. Even the “gold standard” of encryption- proton mail- might not be as safe as we think if Pegasus (or a Pegasus-type surveillance tool) is being used on a router. Transnational indeed. How can entities who reside overseas engaged in spying on Americans on American soil be held accountable? Or anyone from any other country? If physical borders don’t protect sovereign citizens against transnational surveillance (again, being utilized more commonly than we think) what are the full implications of this? I’m not sure if Shoot The Messenger will be able to answer this in coming episodes, but I hope - and suspect - they’ll try. I’ll have my coffee ready.”
