Typical double standards. See any post on HN (or anywhere else in the western media) about any chinese company.


I disagree. I know who Huawei is and don't need the "China" context. No idea what "NSO" is, and I don't think I'm unique in this regard.


If you haven't heard of NSO, does "Isreael's NSO" actually clarify anything? Maybe now you know where they are, but you're still no more informed as to what they are.


Yes, it tells me a lot about intent, where people's opinions might lie, and so on. We can pretend like global politics doesn't set context, but it just...does.

"Israelie Security Firm NSO" would totally clarify it for me.


NSO is a hacking and government-sponsored-terrorism firm, not a security firm.


It's not "government sponsored." It used to be owned by a British company, and was sold to a European private equity firm.


Good context I could use.


Bit wordy for a title limited to 80 characters though.


I imagine news orgs find a way to balance. "NSO" is pretty clearly not enough.

That of course is not true.
