      Eventually we’ll get a list of all the groups that bought spyware from NSO, with the approval of the Israeli government. That list will include basically every globally important group, from the US government to mega-corps

      We already know it was used in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi

      Because nations serve the interests of the elites. This terrorist nation, serves the interests of the elites more than other nations.

      Thus, the elites get more nation per nation. Of course they are not gonna let such a deal go.

      Does it really matter that it was an Israeli advertising company? Would you hold this against any other country?

      I’m just saying, there are upwards of 700 “trusted” partners on some websites, chances are that some of them also try to maximise their profit margins in a similar way. I at least wouldn’t hold it against Ireland, for example, as a nation, if one of their tech firms does the same.

      Don’t blame on colonialism what can adequately be explained by capitalism, or something.

          Nations in their modern form all exist because of capitalism. Israel is actually “special” in that way, because it’s the Wests last mostly settler-colonial project, which results in all kinds of strange and anachronistic contradictions.

          In this hypothetical, not Ireland, an Irish company. Would you blame the Irish government for actions of an Irish company?

            …yes. Not “company from ireland” but “company run by the irish gov.”

            because that’s what israeli companies are.
