US Court Slams Pegasus: Indian Govt Under Fire

There is a chance that your private chats are being spied on as a US court has passed a major ruling. It has once again pushed the Pegasus scandal and the Indian government’s involvement in the forefront, leaving everyone in concern.

The US court slammed Israel’s NSO Group, makers of Pegasus spyware, holding them accountable for illegal surveillance of WhatsApp chats including 300 Indians. While NSO claimed they worked for governments, the court has found no bearing in these statements.

WhatsApp’s head, Will Cathcart, also chimed in calling the ruling a win for privacy. For years, the Meta-owned messaging app has fought spyware companies like NSO, insisting no one is above the law.

In India, the opposition has pounced on the controversy with the congress leader Randeep Surjewala taking charge. He has demanded answers on who these targeted individuals are and are there any ministers, journalists, or business leaders who have been compromised.

However, the Indian government has not responded to these questions. The Pegasus scandal in 2021 was a similar story as the information regarding the case was never brought to the public.

Surjewala is now demanding the Supreme Court to intervene, reveal the names and hold those accountable. There is no doubt that the silence from the authorities is deafening
