Facebook he wanted to buy surveillance software in bulk so you could track the users who use his social network so popular all over the world, and all before suing the company he wanted to buy it from.
Facebook sued a company called NSO Group last year after it used a WhatsApp vulnerability to hack the accounts of some users on the platform, but before that he sought to buy surveillance software from it.
Facebook had this accusation and disclosure made by the founder of NSO Group during the hearings for the lawsuit that he opened, and the company did not deny the fact that it wanted to buy the software of the mass gossip from the Israeli company.
Facebook he wanted to buy the same surveillance software as the one that was used in the case of the hacking of the WhatsApp platform, the paradoxical situation showing that Americans are not exactly the most moral, but this is not exactly that new.
“In October 2017, NSO was approached by two Facebook representatives who requested to purchase the right to use certain capabilities of Pegasus, the same NSO software discussed in Plaintiffs' Complaint. Facebook representatives said Facebook is concerned that its method of collecting user data through Onavo Protect is less effective on Apple devices than on Android devices. Facebook representatives also stated that Facebook wanted to use Pegasus' capabilities to monitor users on Apple devices and were willing to pay for the ability to monitor Onavo Protect users. Facebook proposed to pay NSO a monthly fee for each Onavo Protect user.”
Facebook sued the company from which he wanted to buy software for monitoring people, precisely because that software was used against his own platform, and of course the situation is ironic, but who could expect anything else?
