US EditionWhy US court’s fine on Israeli firm operating Pegasus is an indictment of the Indian Supreme Court
- A US court ruled in December 2024 that Israeli firm NSO Group illegally used Pegasus spyware to surveil more than 1,400 WhatsApp users globally, including about 100 in India.
- This ruling followed years of unresolved allegations in India about government use of Pegasus, amid the Indian Supreme Court's slow progress and lack of clear government responses.
- The NSO Group claims its software serves anti-terrorism and law enforcement, while critics highlight mass spying on journalists, activists, and politicians and warn of ethical and democratic risks.
- The US judge fined NSO $167.3 million for violating laws and WhatsApp’s terms, marking a precedent that spyware makers cannot evade liability for misuse by clients.
- Legal experts consider the US case a landmark for accountability in surveillance, contrasting it with India's judiciary, and expect it to influence ongoing Indian Supreme Court petitions and global norms.
