There should be no difference with usual botnet owner/ransomware gangs and such companies. Management should go to prison for good 20-30 years for that and being extradited worldwide. Considering that ransomware gangs are probably less harmful to the society than guys who hack journalists and politicians, putting their lifes at literal risks, not just their pockets.

There should be no "legal" hacking of someone's devices apart from extraction of data from already convicted people in public court with the right to defend themselves

> "Surveillance companies should be on notice that illegal spying will not be tolerated."

That is kinda funny, although sad at the same time

On the flip side, I guess that means META allows WhatsApp users being only “legally spied” on

You have to be really bad if Meta are somehow the good guys in the article.
