Judge says anti-hacking laws fits Pegasus case "to a T"

Why does Apple need to bring this lawsuit? Why isn’t NSO being prosecuted by the justice department for violating the computer fraud and abuse laws, just as an individual would be if they did the same thing NSO did?
Because various departments of US governments have been customers of the NSO, exploiting the very bug that Apple are suing over.
And various departments of the US government are actively hacking big techs systems, in addition to the backdoor access they legalized for themselves.
Well so is China and anyone with the capability (which is an ever-growing group).
This is the real answer
Because the public attorney system in the US is in disarray and the FTC is weak
Yeah any normal citizen would go to prison and permanently be banned from using any computer but shady companies need to be sued from megacorps and even then the best outcome is that they don't continue to hack that companies devices.
It's no surprise that movements like the sovereign citizens believe in magic words that allow them to get away with weird stuff when they see that this is true for these entities. The mistake these groups make is not having a lobby group that turns their insanity into law - but I also don't want to imagine a world where everyone can act like NSO.
