Re: How does it work?

Regardless of whether you think what NSO are doing is right or wrong I always wonder why:

When members of the International Left, of which Amnesty is a major player, "steal" proprietary and confidential intellectual information or communications from a government or corporation it is seen as some public service but when it is done in the reverse, i.e. The DNC emails it is viewed as a crime! This smacks of the typical legal double standard the Left always wants to operate under.

This incident requires answer:

1. Does NSO retain control of the distribution of the spyware to targeted individuals.

2. Is this supposed list accurate as to submitted targets by their customers. or

3 Has Amnesty just made up this list (including the dead journalists) as a way to target a known adversary of theirs, Israel.

4. If the list is genuine, was it obtained legally? An insider leaking the list is NOT legal.

5. If not then those who stole it and those who received it should be prosecuted.
