"But the report, unlike NSO's previous annual disclosures, lacks details about how many customers the company rejected, investigated, suspended, or terminated due to human rights abuses involving its surveillance tools. While the report contains promises to respect human rights and have controls to demand its customers do the same, the report provides no concrete evidence supporting either."
"Experts and critics who have followed NSO and the spyware market for years believe the report is part of an effort and campaign by the company to get the U.S. government to remove the company from a blocklist - technically called the Entity List - as it hopes to enter the U.S. market with new financial backers and executives at the helm."
NSO Group presented an account of increased accountability while providing few operational details and no verifiable evidence of human-rights enforcement. The company did not disclose numbers of customers rejected, investigated, suspended, or terminated for abuses involving its surveillance tools. The company reiterated commitments to respect human rights and to require controls from customers, but offered no concrete proof of enforcement actions. Observers interpret the effort as aiming to convince the U.S. government to remove NSO from the Entity List so the company can re-enter the U.S. market after U.S. investment and leadership changes.
