  Typo: S/B "half a million".

  Word tense: S/B "treat" (or. less likely, "he treated".)
Page 91: "NSO Group claimed that privacy of individuals included the data used was protected but the London-based investigative organization Forensic Architecture..."
  Missing word: S/B "included in the data".
Page 105: "...(there was only 45 employees in 2005)..."
  Number error: S/B "were".
Page 124: "The Israeli defense establishment had long become entranced by its own propaganda...."

Page 193: "In 2016, then Israeli Justice Minister Ayalet Shaked after meeting with Facebook executives boasted that YouTube, Google, and Facebook were deleting up to 95 percent of Israeli requests to take down material that she claimed was inciting violence."
  Garbled: S/B "of material Israel requested be taken down" or similar wording. It wasn't the requests that were being deleted.
