Actually, it is Facebook that gets permission from governments to operate in their country.

This means that without the terms and conditions of the government of a country, Facebook cannot operate there.

These tools are used illegally to spy on citizens by their government. People download them inadvertently, not knowing that they are spy tools. All these are different. You need to prove to us which country Facebook has allowed to spy on its citizens chats!
these guys are tech adamant.

even Facebook has no right to spy on member WhatsApp chats or calls.
Facebook cannot grant a US president such request talk more of some gworo chewing illiterate

I read all your links but nowhere did FB grant permission to any government to spy citizens. The governments in these country's use some malware that citizens ignorantly download to spy. DSS can't do shit. News is FAKE

They have no right but they can do it in somewhere like Nigeria were human rights are next to non existent, besides Mark Zuckerberg has gone to court numerous times over privacy issues. Those guys don't give a hoot about you they just want money. Too bad the original creators left it with that bastard.

If the Nigerian government asked FB to grant them permission to monitor so so so person chats on WhatsApp for security reasons, they will be giving permission to access the chat.

Not to now give them access to monitor millions of people on WhatsApp chat in Nigeria.

Thank you.

They can't even be given permission to monitor anybody without a court order( and assuming they get due to the corrupt cohesion between the Judiciary and executive, the order can never be on all WhatsApp users in Nigeria. That would be the end of WhatsApp.

Giftedprof:
Nigeria’s foremost spy agency, Department of State Services (DSS), has received approval from President Muhammadu Buhari to acquire a super-sophisticated BIG BROTHER technology that will grant secret agents limitless, round-the-clock access to everything you say or transmit via the encrypted WhatsApp mobile application as part of an invasive surveillance of the country’s 170 million phone subscribers and 122 million internet users.

Authoritative sources familiar with the approval and development confided in THEWILL that a budget of about N3 billion has been approved to purchase the technology.


“The technology has been paid for and should be on our shores and operational in another 6-8 weeks,” one of the sources told THEWILL.

A training programme has also been arranged for designated security operatives who will operate the equipment, according to the sources, who opted to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the subject.

Apart from targeting users of Facebook-owned WhatsApp, THEWILL could not as at press time determine whether the technology can bug users of other fast-growing encrypted phone messaging services like Telegram and Signal.


Known informally as the BIG BROTHER technology, the new equipment will expand the DSS’s capacity for phone monitoring, phone tapping, audio surveillance, video surveillance, internet monitoring and location monitoring throughout the country’s entire communications spectrum.


Sources in government, say the purchase is coming on the heels of the country’s challenging security issues – terrorism, kidnapping and banditry, and not even constitutional provisions guaranteeing citizens’ personal privacy will be allowed to pose a stumbling block to this new acquisition.
