Part 9/12:
The discourse extends to global issues of transnational repression—how authoritarian regimes operate across borders to silence critics, control dissent, and loot resources.

The speakers reveal how their own phones were targeted, illustrating the reach of state surveillance. Their experience underscores the urgency of establishing regulation and oversight of these invasive tools, emphasizing that technology should not become a weapon of tyranny.
