> NSO has said it sells its software to governments to combat terrorism and serious crime, and isn't responsible for how it may be misused.

Such bullshit. In the Nuremberg trials in the aftermath of the Second World War, several directors of IG Farben were held responsible for shipping the chemical Zyklon B to the SS which used it commit mass murder. The court rejected the defendants argument that they weren't responsible for how their product was used. Similarly, NSO and other spyware companies are responsible for how authoritarian regimes use their products to harass and endanger dissidents.
