REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson/File PhotoShare this contentREUTERS: Tech giants Microsoft, Alphabet , Cisco, and VMware on Monday joined Facebook's legal battle against hacking company NSO, filing an amicus brief in federal court that warned that the Israeli firm's tools were"powerful, and dangerous."
The brief warns that the growth of"a robust, unchecked, commercial market for cyber-surveillance tools would dramatically increase the number of governments and private companies with access to them.
NSO - which did not immediately return a message seeking comment - has argued that it can claim immunity from the lawsuit by virtue of the work that it does for foreign governments. The case is being closely watched by human rights defenders and technologists, many of whom have long warned that NSO's services were being used to harm innocents and stifle political dissidents.
