It sounds like suing a gun manufacturer after a shooting. NSO software might not be used ethically but it certainly can be used legally. They have no responsibility to disclose anything.

What? NSO dealt arms to the Saudi government and similarly authoritarian regimes.

Which largely doesn’t happen only because the US congress passed at an early explicit liability shield for gun manufacturers.

It seems reasonable that this might prevail in court given the arguments in the post. No guarantee, but as they say, that’s why we have the trial.

Uh maybe, but you make it sound like the sue-er will lose. I would count a settlement as a win in this instance [1].

Refusal to disclose information is why Alex Jones lost his lawsuit.

Selling and/or using NSO and similar software in the US, with certain exceptions about use by the government, is very arguably a violation of a couple of different US laws, including the CFAA.
