[liberationtech] At Stanford, Pegasus Exploits Hack Workshop

[Diana Fernández]

Hi

There will be a live transmission of this workshop? I am really
interested in participate but I am not able to attend to the event (I am
in Costa Rica).

Please let me know if there will be an online streaming session of this
workshop, it sound quite interesting.

Thanks and regards,

Diana
