I think Citizen Lab is overreaching a bit on this. For example:
Quote:Citizens of foreign countries victimized by governments that used Canadian technology should be able to sue the Canadian tech companies in Canadian courts, says the report.
As Netsweeper hasn't broken any laws, Canadian or otherwise, I don't see how they could be sued.
Whether there should be export controls for this kind of technology (as opposed to encryption, which is the main controlled export) is a whole different discussion.
