Justices turn away Israeli spyware maker in WhatsApp suit (The Washington Post)

The Supreme Court has rejected an Israeli spyware maker's bid to derail a high-profile lawsuit filed by the WhatsApp messaging service.

NSO also has been blacklisted by the U.S. “Today’s decision clears the path for lawsuits brought by the tech companies, as well as for suits brought by journalists and human rights advocates who have been victims of spyware attacks,” Carrie DeCell, senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, said in a statement. The Justice Department wrote that “NSO plainly is not entitled to immunity here.” WhatsApp says at least 100 of the users connected to its lawsuit were journalists, rights activists and civil society members. NSO’s flagship product, Pegasus, allows operators to covertly infiltrate a target’s mobile phone, gaining access to messages and contacts, the camera and microphone and location history. The request appeals a pair of earlier federal court rulings that rejected similar arguments by the Israeli company.
