The Vast Network of Israeli Spy Tech Behind The Modern Surveillance State
Nate Bear | ⚡ | [The] spyware technology - technology which now underpins the insidious and growing capabilities of the modern surveillance state - will most likely have been made in Israel by Israeli spies. But it’s not just in the UK. | Spy tech developed by former Israeli spies is being used on an industrial scale by various agencies in western democracies, from police forces to national security agencies to militaries. Some has been declared illegal, some skirts legal boundaries, and much remains hidden. ■ The scale of usage, and the range of capabilities provided by this Israeli spy tech, is vast. From face and voice recognition software, to interception and wiretap technology, to covert location tracking, to forced data extraction from smartphones and other devices. ■ The tech, built by software engineers who cut their teeth writing code to enable and enforce Israeli domination over, and apartheid against Palestinians, is being sold to security services, police forces and immigration agencies across the west.
