NSO Group has been sanctioned by the US because of abuses connected to its Pegasus spyware Of course it's furiously lobbying to get off of those lists, in order to open up the lucrative 🇺🇸 defence and intelligence contract opportunities @vaspanagiotopoulos.com describes those efforts in detail 👇

NSO Group’s 🇺🇸lobbying efforts provide a stark case study of how #spyware firms deploy vast resources to influence government & democratic decision-making in pursuit of their commercial interests. ➡️ Here’s my analysis for @techpolicypress.bsky.social. www.techpolicy.press/will-nsos-us...

Surveillance software historically used by authoritarian governments to spy on dissidents, civil society, and journalists. There is no need for this sort of surveillance technology in the United States. It must be de-platformed and blocked wherever possible.

YIKES: NSO floats Pegasus spyware used in hypothetical "time of domestic crisis" in 🇺🇸America. I believe they won't stop lobbying until they get Pegasus into USA. To hack Americans. 1/

This one’s for the lawyers! I met a young woman tonight whose name was Calea. She pronounced it “KAL-ay-ya” and had never heard of the CALEA Act. I told her she would be incredibly popular in DC. She was shocked that googling her name pulled up telecom legal results.

I am glad hearings are happening, but wish it were back in 2011 and 2012 before the EU started down this path of spyware. Now it’s so much harder to reverse, but even more essential.
