Well, it's pretty scary to know that authoritarian regimes can buy spyware from companies in "western" countries, and use that spyware to spy on, hunt down, and kill, people who oppose their regimes (i.e. Saudi Arabia killing Jamal Khashoggi after hacking his phone and the phones of his associates).
As bad as all this spyware seemed before, I didn't realize the west would sell this technology to dictatorships :(

Shalev Hulio - "... a system that would allow all the intelligence and law enforcement bodies to be in control of telephones remotely, or to extract information from them, with or without the user's knowledge." (page 173).
And yes, the most authoritarian and horrendous governments in the world can buy this technology to hack and then kill anyone who opposes the regime.
