NSO Group has finally decided to engage in the lawsuit Facebook filed against it late last year. The Israeli surveillance tech company has shown itself to be pretty cavalier about its market expansion plans. Despite being located in a country surrounded by unfriendly governments, NSO is more than willing to give Israel's enemies something to use against it. Its client list includes Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kazakhstan.

Facebook's lawsuit is questionable and if it wins, it would cause a lot of damage. Facebook is unhappy NSO software uses WhatsApp to deliver malware payloads to targets. But seeking precedent that would criminalize terms of service violations isn't going to help anyone, much less stop NSO from using encrypted messaging apps as attack vectors.
