It is not hypothetical, the fact is that killing drones are used in practice, and it just doesn't make sense to oppose lesser measures that are being used without judgement when killing is allowed.

> killing is allowed

You said it is okay / allowed because "terrorists". Otherwise, it is a heinous crime. Just like the Pegasus one.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Ok is a value judgment which I didn't state. Allowed is a fact. Are you arguing with what I'm saying or with an opponent in your mind?

This is what you wrote:

  "The second part though doesn't make sense."
The second part being:

  If the US president can send drones to kill terrorists without taking them to court, surely he can order hacking their phones. If you think that there's no case where the latter is ok you shouldn't you fight against the former first?"
Pretty clear from your rhetoric what your position is. Folks here are not dumb.

> Ok is a value judgment ... Allowed is a fact

Factually, genocidaries are worse than terrorists.
