Weapon merchants get flack all the time for selling their wares to... we'll call them "rivals," but it could be any state or organization not in the US's sphere

Weapon merchants get flack all the time for selling their wares to... we'll call them "rivals," but it could be any state or organization not in the US's sphere of influence.
NSO gets particular flack because they're inextricable from the weapon they sell. If an M-16 is used to shoot someone, provenance is probably harder to prove; weapons change hands all the time, or are smuggled to ne're-do-wells via the black market. But everyone using Pegasus, as far as we know, is an NSO client; NSO made the choice to provide that software, including NSO support and NSO services.
