Goal: Stop the targeted spying on
Al Jazeera reporters.
Officials of the UAE and Saudi Arabia have been caught spying on journalists and compromising their safety through new, advanced technology. Technology developed by NSO Group, an Israeli technology firm that creates spyware, has been found to be targeting journalists working with
