Paragon's "Graphite" malware has been implicated in widespread misuse by the Italian government. Researchers at Citizen Lab at the Monk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto and with Meta found that it has been used in Italy to spy on journalists and civil society actors, including humanitarian workers. Without strong legal guardrails, there is a risk that the malware will be misused in a similar manner by the U.S. Government.
