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.

OK. How about “they’re using the app to spy on us for a Foreign Hostile Government”

Aisha Wahab is an first-term Sen and an Afghan Muslim. So, one of the things that has always bothered me is if this was driven by some kind of Hindu-phobia or other agenda.
Obviously it can be argued that she was championing a cause dear to some of her ethic Indian constituents, but still.
I think it’d be similarly odd if a first term Hindu Sen were to champion the cause of Shia/Sunni discrimination, or the discrimination against Ahmadia Muslims or Orthodox Jews or whatever. All of which are already covered under existing laws.
