The Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, led by Professor Ron Deibert, has a well-earned reputation for uncovering surveillance technologies and security vulnerabilities with research and reports that attract immediate attention worldwide. Professor Deibert has won an incredible array of awards and accolades for his remarkable work, including the Order of Ontario and the EFF\u2019s Pioneer Award. In 2020, he delivered the Massey Lectures, based on his book for the lectures, Reset:\xa0 Reclaiming the Internet for Civil Society. Professor Deibert joins the Law Bytes podcast to talk about the lab, his work, and the threat of what he calls \u201cdespotism as a service\u201d, where spyware is used to target journalists, activists, and civil society groups.\nThe podcast can be downloaded here, accessed on YouTube, and is embedded below.
