Fighting crime, for example by spying on a WaPo columnist and then strangling him at a consular mission in Turkey and chopping up his body, to then dissolve it in acid.

That's what this company's software is used for.

Good luck to them shifting focus to the bad actors they choose to do business with.

That is not the same company, and as I said above, you expect something else from Italy compared to the Saudis

It's the same awful industry. This software is used to hurt journalists, to try to stop dissent. And kill people like the journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Not just same industry, but the same country of origin too actually.

I hope you expected something else from the Germans in 1939 too.

Half the employees are from NSO and they're all from the same unit.

That was going to happen without any software based on the history of these theocracies.
