The Supreme Court allowed Meta to continue pursuing a lawsuit alleging that an Israeli software developer illegally accessed its servers to install spyware.

The Supreme Court denied an appeal from NSO Group Technologies in which the company argued it was immune to the 2019 suit filed by Meta in the Northern District of California because it was acting on behalf of foreign governments. The suit alleges NSO violated multiple laws when it infected 1,400 WhatsApp accounts with its Pegasus spyware. The accounts affected include those of journalists and human rights activists.
