Your Phone Can and Will Be Used Against You

Cellebrite deflects questions about whether it would sell its phone-breaching tools to a repressive regime. View this email in your browser December 4-10, 2016 Share Tweet Forward Editor's Picks Your Phone Can and Will Be Used Against You Phone-cracking company Cellebrite does not like to talk about its clients; it would prefer people think its hacking software is used to rescue abducted kids or fight terrorism. But The Intercept's Sam Biddle hunted down one user: the repressive regime of Bahrain. As Biddle wrote in a story reported with help from a human rights group, Bahraini authorities tortured political activist Abdali al-Singace, then prosecuted him using evidence obtained via Cellebrite software. This revelation came barely a month after a Cellebrite executive told The Intercept, "We have a strong ethics backbone, a clear-use case for our capabilities, and dramatically less potential for abuse should 'evil customers' attempt to deceive us." Additional exclusive disclosures on The Intercept this week came from a batch of 262 articles from the NSA's internal news site, SIDtoday.

Won't allow H1B visa holders to replace US workers: Donald Trump

WASHINGTON: President-elect Donald Trump has said he would not allow Americans to be replaced by foreign workers, in an apparent reference to cases like that of Disney World and other American companies wherein people hired on H-1B visas, including Indians, displaced US workers. 

"We will fight to protect every last American life," Trump told thousands of his supporters in Iowa on Thursday as he referred to the cases of Disney world and other US companies. 

"During the campaign I also spent time with American workers who were laid off and forced to train. The foreign workers brought in to replace them. We won't let this happen anymore," Trump vowed amidst cheers and applause from the audience. 

"Can you believe that? You get laid off and then they won't give you your severance pay unless you train the people that are replacing you. I mean, that's actually demeaning maybe more than anything else," he said. 

Disney World and two outsourcing companies have been slapped with a federal lawsuit by two of its former technology staff, alleging that they conspired to displace American workers with cheaper foreign labour brought to the US on H-1B visas, mostly from India. 

The two employees — Leo Perrero and Dena Moore — were among 250 Disney tech workers laid off from their jobs at Walt Disney World in Orlando in January 2015. They have also dragged two IT companies HCL Inc and Cognizent Technologies into this class action lawsuit. 

"You know the name of one of the companies that's doing it. I'm going to be nice because we're trying to get that company back. Don't forget much harder when a company announced a year and a half ago — some of these companies, like Carrier, they announced long before I even knew I was going to be running for president," Trump said. 

On immigration, Trump reiterated that he will build the wall along the Mexico border. 

"We will put an end to illegal immigration and stop the drugs from pouring into our country, the drugs are pouring into our country, poisoning our youth and plenty of other people," he said. 

"We will stop the drugs from pouring into our country. We will stop the drugs from poisoning our great and beautiful and loving youth. OK? We'll do it," he said, adding that the Trump administration will stop the violence that is "spilling across our border."
