Cellebrite, a company known for providing phone hacking technology to government authorities, has been requiring its users to keep its technology and their use of it a secret. This request is troubling to legal experts who argue that the use of such powerful technology should be public and subject to scrutiny. The concern is that secrecy can undermine the rights of defendants and the public. Cellebrite claims that its tools are designed for lawful use and that it expects users to respect its trade secrets and proprietary information. However, critics argue that this level of secrecy can be harmful and potentially abused by authoritarian regimes or criminal groups.
