NSO is a weapons manufacturer
They need to be treated the same way as a foreign Raytheon or any other such company. From what anecdotal evidence I have, I'm betting that AWS doesn't have processes in place for handling such things. Oh well.
Of course, technology is moving a lot faster than the law, and it's pretty clear that they are turning a rather blind eye to just what their customers are doing with the arms they are receiving. Given who they are and what they are doing, I would be disappointed if this "Shocked, shocked!" moment by Amazon had a noticeable effect on their operations for fifteen minutes. It's entirely possible that it had none at all.
Honestly, it's a bit disappointing that Amazon was even able to identify which accounts they are using. Oh well. Lessons learned, and all that. I expect that there will be a Swiss LLC (or equivalent) created before the end of this week that just happens to handle traffic that has rather... similar characteristics to what was previously attributed to the NSO.
