If Apple buys NSO Group and shuts it down, other firms are incentivized to enter the market especially because of the prospect of a nice payday if Apple buys the new firm, too.


Companies don't do things. People do. Shut down NSO and its skilled people will go elsewhere.


So do we agree that Apple's buying NSO Group wouldn't permanently make the problem better?


Anyone buying them and shutting them down won't even temporarily make the problem better, as NSO has competitors who would immediately hire the best people.


apple will not be buying anything, the hacking tools that nso are using are stolen from the trhee letter agency
