The continuing export of British-made surveillance technology has been thrown into question after the government admitted it had moved to restrict sales of spying software to Egypt.
Eric King of the campaign group Privacy International is calling for further action by the government.
Gamma's FinFisher software can secretly take remote control of a computer, copy its files, intercept Skype calls and log every keystroke.
The continuing export of British-made surveillance technology has been thrown into question after the government admitted it had moved to restrict sales of spying software to Egypt. but it is odd the way in which sales of our "equipment" are acceptable and encouraged when being sold to despotic dictatorial regimes of whom we approve, but are immediately stopped or suspended when the tyrant is overthrown and the people elect a new government which will not automatically follow the Washington/London instructions.
Hypocrisy 2012.
