Didn't Facebook try to buy exploits off NSO Group just recently?

That was alleged in court but no evidence has been provided publicly. I do not see the relevance here though, FB being gross doesn't make NSO any less gross.

It is a bit bold that WhatsApp (owned by FB) is throwing accusations about NSO Group even though they allegedly attempted to buy exploits from them.

not if their intent was to fix zero days that nso discovered.

I mean, companies pay out bug bounties, this doesn't seem that much different
