Citizen Lab Director Ron Deibert was interviewed by Patrick McGuire, the managing editor for VICE Canada on 7 May.
Deibert spoke about Citizen Lab’s research and the state of surveillance, including CSEC and why many Canadians don’t appear to be concerned by its activities.
A confidential source sent the online news organization, The Intercept, a series of internal documents and communications providing details on what appear to be plans to develop and launch an Iranian mobile network, including subscriber management operations and services, and integration with a legal intercept solution. Some of this communication included representatives of the Communications Regulatory Authority of Iran (CRA). In October 2022, The Intercept shared this material with Citizen Lab researchers for analysis. The following report provides a summary of our analysis of this material and discusses its wider implications.
