1) the 'nothing to be afraid of' statement is just PR, and nothing else, so not going to dig into that. 2) government has and will always use whatever tools exist, trust Pegasus is 1 out of many... 3) from a realistic standpoint it is up to 'Apple' is anyone to fix this issue from a technical standpoint, there will always be security holes and tools to take advantage of them. Shaming the toolmaker does little. 4) the real solution is the people have to control the government, only in those scenarios can you put 'ethical' constraints on this kinda thing... Those who are in countries where the people don't control the government really have no recourse

> there will always be security holes and tools to take advantage of them. Shaming the toolmaker does little. And there'll always be ways and weapons to rob banks and kill the clerks, so selling weapons to bank robbers is fine then, as per that logic > Those who are in countries where the people don't control the government really have no recourse They can arrange protests and other things and try to long term change the country to a democracy. And that gets harder and more dangerous, when NSO and others help the dictators track down dissidents.
