    I don’t quite understand. Would journalists be forced to install state-created spyware on their work machines?

      No they do not have to install them by themselves but goverment intelligence agencies or police may use them against journalists.

          You can never have 100% security. And tbf I dont think this is a valuable argument if its about basic freedom of media to not fucking spy on journalists.
