Description

Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson breaks down the week's most urgent legal-technology story in four acts: ICE just admitted it uses Graphite, a zero-click Israeli spyware that reads your Signal and WhatsApp messages without you ever tapping anything; the FBI used an obscure iPhone notification database to recover deleted Signal messages and convict Prairieland protesters — including for wearing all-black and using encrypted apps; and FISA Section 702 — the surveillance law that enables all of this — expires April 20. You will learn how to protect your phone and how to call your representative before the deadline. Follow @ResidentLegalDiva on YouTube, Substack and socials.

As a multi decade IT professional, I want to give you a clap on the back - well done, concise "news you can use" as well as direct scenarios. I used to be thought of as alarmist or fringe with respect to applications and technologies, and it gives me no pleasure to see that a nefarious government using the technology we increasingly rely on to go after its citizens, political rivals. Thank you for your good work, I look forward to hearing from you and the legal AF team daily.
