Activists in Thailand are suing the government for using spyware technology to monitor dissidents, the first such case in the country that they hope will help raise awareness and better protect citizens who are subject to increasing surveillance.
The legal non-profit gropup iLaw said it is preparing a lawsuit against the government for its alleged use of Pegasus spyware developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group to hack into the mobile phones of at least 30 activists and lawyers in 2020-21.
