It's detestable how Apple handled the aftermath of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FORCEDENTRY

  In November 2021, Apple Inc. filed a complaint against NSO Group and its parent company Q Cyber Technologies in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in relation to FORCEDENTRY, requesting injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, and disgorgement of profits but in 2024 asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit.
The perpetrators were caught red-handed and let, go by Apple! This crime can, will, and has continued to happen due to the negligence of Apple's leadership. No doubt influenced by Tim Cook's obligation to the White House and their friends.

If I remember correctly the Israeli government stepped in and seized all the material that Apple could use in the lawsuit, so there was no point in continuing.

If Israel can deter Apple so easily, that doesn't bode well at all for Apple's stance towards American surveillance.

It's just a private company. They only have power compared to governments in Cyberpunk.
