ICE now using Paragon, Israeli cell phone spyware

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/02/trump-immigration-ice-israeli-spyware

This is one of the most scary ideas going around now, and it is worse than that.
The data theft Musk stole is now being gathered into one overriding data set combined with Paragon means the US is heading for a system just like in China where their government knows everything about EVERYONE LITERALLY and that is what we US CITIZENS are facing now.

Democrats are the ones targeting, no Repub needs to worry.

So it is a scary time and it is going to get MUCH more scary,

Where CITIZENS become afraid to invoke their first amendment rights where ICE spies on DEMOCRATS ONLY to find the ones demonstrating, protesting at all.

Now 7 million showed up. When Trump's fear campaign starts up for real we will be in real trouble of ICE agents showing up at the doors of citizens who protest.

Suggestions talk about rebooting your phone every day or getting involved with MVT

"What is the Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT)?FeatureDescriptionDeveloperAmnesty International's Security Lab.PurposeA collection of utilities to facilitate the consensual forensic analysis of Android and iOS devices to find signs of compromise.NatureOpen-Source and Free. Its code and methodology are public, allowing security researchers worldwide to verify its integrity and constantly update its capabilities.Key FunctionIt searches your phone's deep system logs, databases, and files for Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), which are the known digital fingerprints left by specific spyware (like the network activity or file names associated with Graphite or Pegasus).Targeted SpywareIt was initially developed for Pegasus detection but is continuously updated with IOCs for other sophisticated tools, including Paragon's Graphite. For example, forensic artifacts like BIGPRETZEL were discovered using this type of analysis for Graphite infections on Android.

And always update when a message comes in to do that, Paragon and others exploit old software so the latest versions can offer protection against that insidious spyware.

When will YOU start turning in people for protesting? Or are you accepting the 50K sign on bonus to ICE if you haven't already. Your cruelty index is high enough that ICE will LOVE you.

Or you could consider dumping your cell phone. They can't spy on you if you don't have one.......

Using spy software is crazy crap. But you don't have to worry, you are repub, they don't spy on repubs, only dems. And that of course makes you very happy just visualizing ICE agents arresting US citizens who happen to be democrats giving you the wet dream of the decade.
