Luca Casarini, the founder of Mediterranea Saving Humans and critic of Italy's government, has disclosed that his phone was compromised by military-grade spyware from Paragon Solutions. This revelation comes after WhatsApp reported that 90 journalists and activists may have been targeted by government clients. The trend towards state-sponsored cyber surveillance raises alarms about the implications for human rights and freedom of expression, particularly for those like Casarini who challenge the actions of leaders such as Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Paragon maintains it sells its products only to democratic nations, but scrutiny around its practices and clients continues.
