#2What other goodies will they find during discovery?
Hopefully the public can get snippets like in Epic Games v. Apple.

#3Where did they sue NSO group? If it's a US suit, I don't see that meaning much. Why wouldn't NSO just ignore it in that case?

Isn't NSO Group an Israeli firm with close ties to government? I strongly doubt anything will come of this.

#7It is great to see this happen.
It's also fascinating that the crux of the Apple's case against NSO hinges on NSO engineers that accepted iCloud's terms and conditions.
From related NYT article:
>The sample of Pegasus gave Apple a forensic understanding of how Pegasus worked. The company found that NSO’s engineers had created more than 100 fake Apple IDs to carry out their attacks. In the process of creating those accounts, NSO’s engineers would have had to agree to Apple’s iCloud Terms and Conditions, which expressly require that iCloud users’ engagement with Apple “be governed by the laws of the state of California.”
The clause helped Apple bring its lawsuit against NSO in the Northern District of California.

Can an upset judge decide to put the NSO leaders and employees on a terrorist list? They could argue it was an attack on national security if they can show some important person from US would have been hacked by a foreign government.
Then if EU could put the same guys also on the list maybe there would be some effects.

I'm imagining just a screen shot of a middle finger in response to discovery requests.
