Amnesty says it never claimed list was NSO: "Amnesty International has never presented this list as a 'NSO Pegasus Spyware List', although some of the world's media may have done so..list indicative of the interests of the company's clients"

"Amnesty, and the investigative journalists and media outlets they work with have made clear from the outset in very clear language that this is a list of numbers marked as numbers of interest to NSO customers" - meaning they are the kind of ppl NSO clients might like to spy on

So Amnesty is essentially saying now that the list contains the *kind* of people NSO's clients would ordinarily be interested in spying on, but the list isn't specifically a list of people who were spied on -- though a very small subset of people on the list were indeed spied on

Amnesty is saying they were very clear from the start that the list was *not* a list of NSO spying targets. But their tweets were not clear about that at all

Amnesty is now saying that the Hebrew story in which their statement appeared misreported what they said. This means the English translation of that statement, which I included in my tweet at the top of this thread, was also incorrect. m.thewire.in/article/tech/f…

I should note that I had asked the Amnesty spokeswoman to provide me with an English version of the Hebrew statement they had given Israeli media. She never sent me the statement. Had she sent me the statement, we would have seen that the Israeli article had misquoted it.
