but what if - stay with me - we cannot rely on their say-so? and what if #Pegasus, with its total access to one's digital device, is itself inherently abusive, not subject to verifiable constraints? then all this NSO-says is not only self-serving but basically beside the point.

@davidkaye it's baffling that the Times doesn't quote NSO's spokesperson by name, and instead prints empty statements that neither contain evidence or attribution.
