The MEP investigating spyware was keeping his whole life on the phone that got hacked
Pegasus infected the phone of an MEP who sat on the committee investigating it - a real assault on democracy. It also came out that he kept fifteen years of everything on that one phone and missed three warnings from Apple - and that's a failure we have to talk about too.

a former MEP was infected with Pegasus (NSO Group), during the time in which he was part of the #PEGA committee of the EU, which investigated the use of spyware against journalists, activists and politicians

this man is also a journalist. will the European Media Freedom Act (#EMFA) be cited, too late? the report already cites #GDPR violations on ground of exposing sensitive medical data. but the harm has already been done.
