How journalists can protect their privacy: legal and technical recommendations
A journalist in Lebanon was recently forced to hand her phone, password, messaging content, and information sources to the Information Department of the Public Prosecution Office at the Court of Cassation, sparking concerns over the deterioration of press freedom and the violation of privacy in the country.
The journalist denied any connection to the subject and refrained from commenting after SMEX contacted her. The lack of sufficient information about the case allowed media outlets to make assumptions and give unreliable information.
