Something similar is also being fought in Indian courts, where the government is on the hook for using the Pegasus spyware (bought from NSO) illegally. Indian laws permit lawful interception (wire-tapping etc), but do not allow hacking. As such, the government's usage of Pegasus was likely unconstitutional, and they are refusing to admit even the usage of Pegasus in court (or the existence of a contract with NSO). The government is citing "national security" to avoid damage.
