The CEO has branded the allegations as false, adding that the situation highlights the &#8220;erosion of the right to privacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sky Global&#8217;s technology works for the good of all. It was not created to prevent the police from monitoring criminal organizations; it exists to prevent anyone from monitoring and spying on the global community,&#8221; Eap commented. &#8220;The indictment against me personally in the US is an example of the police and the government trying to vilify anyone who takes a stance against unwarranted surveillance.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Eap says that he and his company are being &#8220;targeted&#8221; because they &#8220;build tools to protect the fundamental right to privacy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Over the coming days, the executive intends to put his efforts toward clearing his name of the allegations.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do not condone illegal or unethical behavior by our partners or customers,&#8221; Eap says. &#8220;To brand anyone who values privacy and freedom of speech as a criminal is an outrage.&#8221; <\/p>\n<h3> Previous and related coverage <\/h3>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Have a tip?<\/strong> Get in touch securely via
