1. June 30: Deadline to Submit your Global Gathering App & Proposals

The hard deadline to submit your application for the Global Gathering is 
June 30. If you need to bring a partner or spouse to the GG to support 
childcare, they must also submit an application before this date — do 
not run the risk that their application is not approved because it was 
not submitted in time.

Reviewing and vetting applications to ensure the safety and security of 
the GG is a time-consuming task. We will not be extending the deadline 
as we have done in previous years.  If you want to support our security 
and safety efforts, encourage your friends and colleagues to apply soon!

2. Pre-Event Mental Health Workshops for GG Participants

We are offering four mental health online workshops pre-event to all 
registered Global Gathering participants, with the first one taking 
place on May 29.  Topics range from understanding burnout and your 
nervous system, to best practices when confronting a crisis. If you have 
already applied and have been approved for attendance, you should have 
received a form with the workshop details, allowing you to RSVP.. Want 
to take advantage of this opportunity? Apply to join the GG before June 
30, the final day to submit your application (and program proposals).

7. New Guide: Tackling Arbitrary Digital Surveillance in the Americas

EFF has launched a new guide, which compiles privacy, data protection, 
and access to information guarantees established within the 
Inter-American Human Rights System to provide concrete, actionable 
guidance to governments in the Americas to curb the vicious cycle of 
state digital surveillance abuses. It outlines the safeguards and 
institutional measures necessary to protect individuals and details 
rules, parameters, and standards to overcome current pernicious 
practices and trends. The great majority of states in Latin America have 
ratified the American Convention on Human Rights. As such, the 
parameters and rules in the new guide stem directly from their 
obligations before international human rights law.

8. Toolkit on Digital Security and Detecting Disinformation for Women’s 
Rights and Civil Society Organisations in Eastern Neighbourhood Countries

Produced by EU4Gender Equality Reform Helpdesk Project, this new toolkit 
provides women’s rights organisations and other civil society 
organisations (CSOs) in Eastern Neighbourhood (EN) countries with 
practical tools to detect and defend against gendered disinformation, 
while maintaining digital security in the quest to advance 
gender-inclusive reforms. The toolkit is based on evidence from the EEAS 
OSINT Guidelines and extensive research on identity-based
disinformation (IBD).

It states that EN countries face particular challenges from Russian 
disinformation campaigns exploiting gender issues; anti-gender movements 
funded by transnational networks; right-wing radical parties and 
conservative movements both inside and outside EN countries; religious 
organizations promoting patriarchal values; cross-border narrative 
manipulation targeting European Union integration; organized 
disinformation campaigns against civil society, especially those working 
on peace-building, sex education and gender equality; and coordinated 
attacks during elections and policy debates.

9. SuperBloom Conducting Research on Security and Privacy Tools

Using Polis, SuperBloom is exploring how people experience, evaluate, 
adopt, or abandon digital security and privacy tools. Their goal is to 
surface patterns, disagreements, and lived experiences that may be 
missing from technical or policy-focused discussions around digital 
security. They currently have 9 Polis prompts, ranging from trust and 
social proof to context and resource constraints.

10. New Report: Thousands of Cases of Online Violence Against At-Risk 
Communities in Pakistan

The Digital Rights Foundation has published a new report, Digital 
Threats Against At-Risk Communities in Pakistan, which documents online 
violence faced by communities such as women, religious minorities, and 
human rights defenders, among others. The report also evaluates the 
usability and effectiveness of crisis response tools recommended through 
Digital Rights Foundation’s (DRF) Digital Security Helpline, which was 
first established in 2016. The report states that threats seem to 
concentrate on mainstream platforms with platform-specific attack 
patterns. Women and trans women had elevated reports of account 
compromise, blackmail/sextortion, threats, and image-based abuse, 
alongside social engineering and financial fraud.

11. Iran: Stop Repression of People Seeking Internet Access

In a recent statement, ARTICLE 19 shares their deep concern about 
reports that Iranians are being arrested and tortured for the use of 
Starlink and circumvention tools to access the internet amid the longest 
internet shutdown in Iran’s history. At least one person, Hesam 
Alaeeddin, has died, reportedly beaten to death by security services 
following arrest for using satellite services to access the internet. 
The demand that Iranian authorities immediately restore full and 
unrestricted access to the internet in the country and cease the 
targeting of people exercising their rights. They also urge the 
international community, governments, institutions, and the private 
sector to urgently support Iranians’ rights to free expression and 
access to information.

### Digital Rights in the Wider World ###
______________________________________

1. Google and Amnesty International Teamed Up to Make it Harder for 
Spyware Vendors to Hide; Meanwhile, encryption Between Apple and Google 
Messaging Starts this Week

Google has launched a feature for Android phones for dedicated forensic 
logs about intrusions from sophisticated attacks like those by spyware 
vendors, in what design partners at Amnesty International hailed as an 
important first, and will be a major aid to digital forensic 
investigations.

Intrusion Logging, a feature of Android Advanced Protection Mode, is 
designed specifically to keep track of possible intrusions for forensic 
purposes. All forensic logs, collected once a day by default, are 
encrypted with a user-generated key before the logs are securely 
archived in the user’s Google account. The logs can later be accessed 
and decrypted by the user, but not by Google or any unauthorized third 
parties.

https://cyberscoop.com/google-android-intrusion-logging-amnesty-spyware-detection/

Additionally, Apple and Google have led a cross-industry effort to bring 
end-to-end encryption to cross-platform messaging, which begins rolling 
out this week for iPhone users running iOS 26.5 with supported carriers 
and Android users on the latest version of Google Messages. This means 
that conversations between Android and iphone will soon be encrypted in 
the default chat apps.

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/05/end-to-end-encrypted-rcs-messaging-begins-rolling-out-today-in-beta/

2. The Secret Chinese Vast Foreign Surveillance Network

A recent investigation by The Telegraph has exposed the scale of China’s 
surveillance system. The report exposes a leaked Chinese security 
database linked to a programme called the “Dynamic Control Platform for 
Foreigners”, a system reportedly designed to monitor and track 
foreigners entering or living in China.

The platform was first discovered by NetAskari, a cybersecurity group 
that researches exposed databases and online security vulnerabilities. 
The “Dynamic Control Platform” reportedly collects data from facial 
recognition cameras, visa applications, hotel check-ins, airline 
bookings, mobile phone records and even location tracking systems. The 
report suggests authorities are able to monitor people’s movements, 
contacts, travel history and activities almost in real time.

3. Google Is Handing More of Search Over to AI Agents

At its I/O 2026 conference, Google rolled out a sweeping expansion of 
AI-powered Search, anchored by Gemini 3.5 Flash. The update also 
redesigns the Search box itself, which Google called its biggest 
overhaul yet. The tech giant is no longer competing solely on 
information retrieval. It is repositioning Search as an active assistant 
capable of monitoring the web 24/7, booking services, generating 
interfaces, and maintaining workflows.

4. Cubadebate Accuses X of Censorship, Describing It as "Algorithmic 
Warfare."

Cubadebate is an official Cuban digital news outlet that serves as the 
primary mouthpiece for the Cuban government. Recently, they accused the 
social network X of  censoring institutional accounts of the regime 
since March 2026, in what it describes as an "algorithmic war" driven by 
the United States government. The study, conducted by the Media 
Observatory of Cubadebate, claims to have analyzed over 600,000 mentions 
on X of 10 government accounts, including @partidopcc, @presidenciacuba, 
and @minint_cuba, between January 1 and May 13, 2026, and identified "an 
abrupt, widespread, and synchronized" decline in their reach and digital 
visibility.

Meanwhile, the US military has been publicly broadcasting the location 
of military surveillance flights near Cuba on plane-tracking websites, 
as Washington continues to exert pressure on the island's communist 
leadership.

5. Russian Official Admits Completely Banning VPNs Is 'Simply Impossible'

Valery Fadeev, the head of Russia's Presidential Human Rights Council — 
an advisory body that consults the Kremlin on civil liberties - has 
publicly conceded that completely blocking Virtual Private Networks 
(VPNs) in Russia is "simply impossible" and admitted that doing so could 
catastrophically impact the country's digital infrastructure. He warned 
that a blanket VPN shutdown would severely impact businesses, banks, and 
"programmers who download code."

https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/russian-official-admits-completely-banning-vpns-is-simply-impossible

In other news, the CEO of Ntech Lab, a Russian company that specializes 
in facial recognition technology, shared that there are currently 15 
million cameras in Russia, but only 7% of them are under smart services.”

https://www.oreanda-news.com/en/transport/the-number-of-video-surveillance-cameras-in-russia-has-been-named/article1592123/

Last year, Comparitech, a UK-based pro-consumer website, collated a 
number of data resources and reports, including government reports, 
police websites, and news articles, to estimate the number of CCTV 
cameras in use in 150 major cities across the globe—Moscow was in the 
the list of top 10 most surveilled cities.

6. EU Broadcasters Say Digital Fairness Act Should Target Big Tech, Not Them

Europe’s biggest broadcasters and media groups warned EU regulators that 
a planned ‌law to curb unfair digital practices should target Big Tech, 
not publishers and broadcasters already heavily regulated, citing risks 
to media business models and pluralism. The Digital Fairness Act, which 
the European Commission's Justice chief Michael McGrath will propose 
towards the end of the year, seeks to tackle dark patterns, ⁠the 
addictive design of digital products, misleading influencer marketing, 
pricing practices and subscription traps, among others.

7. Greek PASOK Leader Threatens Lawsuit Against Spy Chief Over Phone 
Surveillance

Main opposition PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis said he was considering 
legal action to force Greece’s spy chief to divulge information on why 
he was targeted in a phone surveillance scandal together with dozens of 
politicians, journalists, businesspeople, military and other officials.

8. Brazil Opens Investigation on Google Over its AI’s Impact on the 
Journalism Industry

The Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade), linked to the 
Ministry of Justice in Brazil, approved the opening of an administrative 
process to further investigate Google’s generative AI (Artificial 
Intelligence) and its use of journalistic content to create automated 
summaries for searched terms (AI Overviews), which could potentially 
affect the organic traffic of journalistic platforms, their 
monetization, and engagement.

9. Researcher Claims Claude Desktop Installs “Spyware” on MacOS

Security researcher Alexander Hanff wrote an article detailing how 
Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop. 
Users on Mastodon, Reddit, and LinkedIn are confirming the researcher’s 
findings. Check out this Malware Bytes piece that delves into details of 
what happens on your computer, and their analysis.

10. Federal Workers Tracked Under New Surveillance Push as Palantir 
Lands $3.9 Million Government Contract

The federal government is rapidly expanding a workplace monitoring 
system that is raising serious concerns among labor advocates, legal 
experts, and public sector unions, as new disclosures show millions of 
dollars are being directed toward technology designed to track 
government employees inside their own offices.

At the center of the controversy is a growing surveillance network tied 
to return to office enforcement policies that critics say could reshape 
how federal workers are monitored, evaluated, and potentially reduced 
across multiple agencies. Federal spending disclosures reveal that 
technology firm Palantir has already received an initial $3.9 million 
contract connected to this effort at the Department of Agriculture.

https://usaherald.com/federal-workers-tracked-under-new-surveillance-push-as-palantir-lands-3-9-million-government-contract

This past week, NPR did a piece exploring what we know about the US 
government’s use of spyware, and what we don’t know. This follows the 
first acknowledgement by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement 
agency of their growing arsenal of surveillance technology, which 
includes spyware.

11. Ontario Police Are Using Spyware That Lets Them Remotely Take Over 
Your Smartphone and Fighting to Keep it Secret

Ontario police forces are deploying commercial spyware that can remotely 
take over a suspect’s smartphone—reading encrypted messages, activating 
microphones and cameras, and logging every keystroke—and fighting to 
keep nearly every detail about the technology hidden from courts, 
defence lawyers, and the public. Six Ontario police services pool 
resources into a little-known provincial unit called the Joint Technical 
Assistance Centre (JTAC), which manages the On-Device Investigative 
Tools (ODIT)  program.

JTAC sources the tools from a private vendor whose identity it keeps 
classified. It’s so classified that police forces must sign an agreement 
committing to abandon major prosecutions rather than disclose the 
vendor’s name in court—and the Crown in at least one active case may do 
exactly that. Canada currently has no legislation regulating police use 
of commercial spyware. In March last year, the University of Toronto’s 
Citizen Lab identified “possible links” between the Ontario Provincial 
Police and Paragon Solutions, an Israeli firm selling military-grade 
spyware called Graphite to government clients.

1. Hackers Using AI Just Found a ‘Zero-Day.’ The Spyware Industry is 
Watching

Google recently reported a pivotal moment—for the first time, hackers 
used AI to discover and exploit a zero-day, the most serious type of 
security flaw because it has not been detected by security companies and 
has no known fix. This zero-day was particularly dangerous as it would 
have bypassed two-factor authentication across Google products. 
Zero-days are typically both rare and expensive, requiring skilled 
talent to discover and exploit them—this development changes that. By 
collapsing the cost, time, and expertise required to find and weaponize 
zero-days, AI is primed to recharacterize the offensive playing field in 
ways defenders are not yet equipped to match.
