https://knightcolumbia.org/content/knight-institute-comments-on-supreme-courts-denial-of-cert-in-nso-v-whatsapp The U.S. Supreme Court today denied cert in NSO Group Technologies Limited v. WhatsApp Inc., a case challenging NSO Group’s abuse of WhatsApp technology to deploy its Pegasus spyware. The Supreme Court’s decision today puts an end to NSO Group’s argument that it cannot be held liable because it is entitled to common-law foreign sovereign immunity... Today’s decision clears the path for lawsuits brought by the tech companies, as well as for suits brought by journalists and human rights advocates who have been victims of spyware attacks. The use of spyware to surveil and intimidate journalists poses one of the most urgent threats to press freedom and democracy today.”
