    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.

        OK, so a journalist who is technically knowledgeable might evade this altogether.

          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.
