Critics pan spyware maker NSO’s transparency claims amid its push to enter US market

NSO Group released a 2025 transparency report that omits key metrics previously disclosed—such as counts of rejected, suspended, or terminated customers—while proclaiming commitments to human rights. Observers, including Access Now and Citizen Lab, criticize the report as lacking verifiable details and view it as part of NSO’s effort to be removed from the U.S. Entity List amid leadership changes and new investors; past reports had cited suspensions and revenue impacts that are not substantiated in the latest document.
