NSO got sideways to America's national security.

So, the US blacklisted them.

Now, questions being raised about France.

Their gov. was heavily & scandalously targeted with #Pegasus.

And yet? Quiet.

Will @EmmanuelMacron make it clear that France is not to be messed with?

Hacking of French officials with #Pegasus is the most globally known case.

This is not embarrassing.

Many other govs fell victim, too.

However, inaction does send an embarrassing signal: no consequences for helping to hack la France.
