Colombian President Gustavo Petro has publicly criticized his country’s police force for purchasing Pegasus spyware, a controversial surveillance tool. The president expressed concern over the potential misuse of the software, which has been linked to human rights violations and unauthorized surveillance in various countries.
Pegasus spyware, developed by an Israeli firm, has come under global scrutiny for its ability to hack into smartphones and access sensitive information. President Petro has called for an investigation into how and why the spyware was acquired, stressing the need for transparency and ethical practices in law enforcement. The issue has sparked a broader debate about government surveillance and individual privacy rights.
