The architecture of the system is important here too.

1. Do the regimes buy the software and set it up themselves, or does NSO set it up and they use the service provided?

2. If the former is there a route to go for Saudi, Mexican, UAE, Bahraini... governments?

You are explicitly (and, if you read Dan's moderator comments, repeatedly) asked not to conduct public hunts for astroturf comments on HN threads. If you think you've seen a pattern of corrupt comments, tell [email protected] directly.

Thanks, I haven't noticed any of those comments. I'll mull that over.
