Trust Conference 2023: A Panel on Spyware and Threats to Media Freedom

On 19 October 2023, I participated in a panel about cyber risks to journalists worldwide and the misuse of spyware, particularly in the hands of authoritarian governments.

I shared my experienced having been spied on in El Salvador, spoke about the professional implications of spyware, and the more personal side of being targeted by a government. I also advocated for the community of democracies worldwide to firmly condemn autocracies worldwide, as many of them thrive on the silence of those who hesitate to take a stance.
