KSA used Pegasus to spy on and murder an american journalist. They're also a major shareholder of twitter.

I’m not really sure what the legal status of Pegasus is. Also, I doubt it’s on 150 million American’s phones, though who knows.

I don’t believe TikTok and Pegasus belong in the same category.

Regarding Twitter, only Elon can answer how much of American’s Twitter data is flowing through KSA, though I believe it’s zero.

Edit: I’m fully behind any moves to ban Pegasus.
