Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg released comments Saturday afternoon on the current lawsuit the social media giant launched that accuses Israeli spyware vendor NSO of exploiting a flaw in Facebook's WhatsApp messaging service to hack 1,400 users.
Zuckerberg said that NSO can defend itself in court if they think what they do is legal. NSO group has faced strong criticism for industry practices and allegations of selling its spy technology for use by regimes with poor human rights records, including Mozambique, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Bahrain.
