Update, but it appears that Trump's Gestapo now has access to Graphite, which is Israeli spyware, designed with zero-day exploits. Apparently it can also hack Signal.

What we need is to criminally prosecute all who circumvent robust privacy laws using third countries. Especially companies and secret services. And if that means we need to arrest prime ministers, so be it. If Israel's terrorist Mossad arrests people on other countries' borders, who's to say we cannot do the same for their fascist terrorist leaders?
