It's a good article, but the title is misleading.
The FBI paid a company to find a few people's locations, and they were under the impression that the company would use in-house software, not NSO spyware.
At no point did the FBI use NSO spyware. Riva Networks did.
At no point did the US military torture hostages in those blacksites.
Not sure it matters. The responsibility still lies with the org that paid.
