Who's leading Whom a Merry Dance up the Garden Path to Nowhere Worth Going?

"Our latest discovery of yet another Apple zero day employed as part of NSO Group’s arsenal further illustrates that companies like NSO Group are facilitating 'despotism-as-a-service' for unaccountable government security agencies," Citizen Lab researchers said in a post on Monday. "Regulation of this growing, highly profitable, and harmful marketplace is desperately needed."

What is the reason, in the case of the above not being fake news, the NSO Group and its backers are not proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the US and its allies? If it were a Russian or a Chinese or a Taliban or an emergent stateless organisation responsible for such activities, you can be sure Uncle Sam would be proclaiming that to all and sundry in a flash.
