Blacklist it, destroy it, and ban it from existence on the entire planet. It is a violation of privacy and could be considered wiretapping which is a crime, which needs to be changed to a Federal Crime. Any person who does such whether a citizen, or government official, or federal agents, or law enforcement should be considered guilty. Absolutely unacceptable. Change it now.

Someone in Russia will find a way to copy this Pegasus and sell it to the public on the dark web.

As they say; You'll appreciate the freedom once you lost it. It's terrifying to see that we (as the public) are losing our freedom both in real life and on the internet. Keep fighting for freedom ✊

Dude, the NSO company logo looks like some movie villain type deal, but the company headquarters being next to a hummus place kind of takes away from that 😂

Remember back in the day when someone was peeking in on your private life, they were called creeps. Still are.
