Not sure about that, but at least it shows that they likely condone this stuff as long as they get access.

In case you missed it, this is a bad thing for NSO.

The DOJ is asking the SC to not take cert, and leave the court of appeals' ruling in place. That ruling says that NSO does not have immunity and therefore can be sued and held liable for its actions, because it is not a foreign government.

What exactly does that show?

And how feckless the DOJ is.

So, you are saying NSO should be immune?

Because NSO is appealing a decision that they do not have foreign government immunity, and DoJ is asking the Supreme Court not to take the case.

The DOJ brief explicitly says that the NSO group cannot claim this immunity, and that the lower court ruled correctly -- so no need for SCOTUS to take the case.

My read here is that the Federal government is supporting the idea that NSO is not immune from suit, so, uh, I think you may have missed something.
