America should stop giving aid to Israel as long as Israeli companies are going to assist in getting journalists arrested/murdered/dismembered.
America didn't stop giving aid to Israel despite 53 years of military occupation and apartheid. You think this is going to be the thing that changes the status quo on Israel?

I forgot to add on my hypothetical that the Somalian government was protecting me. In which case it would be valid for people to be calling for sanctions let alone revocation of state aid. Iirc, hacking team dissolved or greatly downsized after their leak. I do not recall any cases against them for their export license to be revoked. I'm sure if the Italian courts rejected the case baselessly then there would be cons…
>The difference with Italy is that it does not receive state aid from the Americans. I'm sure if they were then people would be calling for cuts in a similar situation. This isn't true. On top of the general disaster aid, including $10 million for COVID, we have seven US military bases in the country which accounts for millions a year in aid.

Yet they somehow roll out some crazy new memoji or drawing feature every year Their priorities are just in the wrong place
Of course, the people writing the Memoji code and the people doing security work on the app are frequently different people…
The point being argued is that apple is not giving enough attention to important security issues while also preventing others from doing so themselves.
Is an iPhone safer or a Pixel 4a w/ 5G safer? I seem to hear a lot about iOS 0days and not so much about pixel 0days.

Considering the recent iOS exploits, you're likely to be a little bit safer on a Google phone and common sense at the moment - but I'm 100% sure that a player like NSO will have an exploit for your phone as well.
Might have more luck with a dedicated "locked down" phone from a security company, there's some players that have entire custom android distributions with enhanced process/app isolation in the kernel and various stuff on top that prevents accidental leaks from "important" apps - also won't be 100% safe there but you can't even get that on iOS.

WhatsApp "attempted" to get NSOs export license revoked and failed. How would you expect America to stop two of their allies from dealing with each other (with a potential courtship in the works)? Especially when America itself gets major weapons contracts to look the other way? This will just continue to get worse. More journalists and human rights activists will die because some delusional maniacs feelings were hur…
Everyone involved from NSO execs through to the Saudi's and Emirati's should be facing DOJ indictments no different to what Russian, North Korean and Chinese hackers face This thin veneer of NSO being a legitimate company has been exposed
They are just as, if not more, responsible.

Sponsoring international terrorism used to be a real faux pas in the U.S. I guess those days are over.
