Access Now welcomes a lawsuit filed against NSO Group for facilitating unlawful surveillance of French-Palestinian human rights defender, Salah Hammour.

Access Now condemns the hacking of six Palestinian human rights defenders’ devices with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware.

The undersigned human rights organizations condemn the use of NSO’s Pegasus spyware against six Palestinian human rights defenders.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved Israeli surveillance firm Cellebrite’s Form F-4 Registration Statement, paving the way for Cellebrite going public with a NASDAQ listing. To smooth the process, Cellebrite published “Ethics & Integrity” statements. But the company has made no progress on demonstrating compliance with human rights. Neither investors nor NASDAQ should be swayed by these empty statements. 

Access Now is appalled at NSO Group’s alleged involvement in human rights violations, and call on states to intervene on the surveillance company’s power.

Facebook and Twitter are systematically silencing users protesting and documenting the evictions of Palestinian families from their homes in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in Jerusalem.

We oppose Facebook adding “Zionist” as a protected category for content moderation in the fight against anti-Semitism. It is likely to backfire, given the company’s inability to adhere to human rights principles in its content moderation practices.
