Shouldn’t there be an outcry against the suppression of free speech? When Facebook or Google blocks extremist propaganda, it’s a big thing. What jurisdiction’s laws were broken by this company?
no

#12Ouch. > The Amnesty report said NSO is also using services from other companies such as Digital Ocean, OVH, and Linode ... We've been using Digital Ocean for a few years now (sqlitebrowser.org), and they've been really good. Hopefully they look into this and take some useful action. :)
It's "DigitalOcean" - sorry to be pedantic, it drives me absolutely nuts when people put a space between, especially publications.
Careful of the Streisand effect.

There is another point if view, and that is that corporate marketing should not take precedence over correct use of language.
Some languages tend to be more strict about this. I think it's particularly common to see English play fast and loose with the language compared to other languages.
In Sweden, for example you will see media write Iphone, because it's a name, and names are capitalised.
The same goes for Digital Ocean, or Digitalocean if you prefer. It can definitely be argued fairly that the writer does not have to break language conventions just because a company says they have to.

Thanks for working on sqlitebrowser!

delivering malware seems like it runs afoul of the computer fraud and abuse act

#16WTF? Wasn’t it the NSO that hacked Bezos’s and Khashoggi’s phone?
I guess the customer is always right up until the point the widow of your murdered employee goes to the press.
Re: Amazon Shuts Down NSO Group Infrastructure
#17Wonder if NSO was involved in that leak of Bezo's phone data awhile back.
From Amazon Unbound, p.344:
> De Becker then commissioned an examination of Bezos’s iPhone X. The eventual report by Anthony Ferrante, a longtime colleague of de Becker’s and the former director for cyber incident response for the U.S. National Security Council, concluded that the promotional video about broadband prices that MBS had sent Bezos the previous year likely contained a copy of Pegasus, a piece of nearly invisible malware created by an Israeli company called NSO Group. Once the program was activated, Ferrante found, the volume of data leaving Bezos’s smartphone increased by about 3,000 percent.

My pet peeve is publications spelling NASA as Nasa. They've come up with some story to explain their decision that sounds just as bad as some of the lies Walter White told. I don't care how ubiquitous NASA maybe, it is and always will be an acronym. I accept removing the dots so it's not N.A.S.A., but I will only accept Nasa as a formal name if that's the name of a person.

Allow me some pedantry as well : if people consistently make the same mistake with the name of a product, is the problem with people or the name ?
As lokedhs alluded, it clearly breaks established typographic rules.

#20I contacted Amazon to report an advertiser out of Tel Aviv that was using JavaScript hosted on CloudFront to fingerprint user's devices and if an Android device was detected a fake media player or fake CAPTCHA would trick user's into accepting push notifications for fake virus warnings to install questionable apps from the Play Store.
This script also pushed ads for a fake AdBlock app that was a dropper for banking trojan apps.
Amazon refused to do anything about it.
