Earlier this morning we published a civil society Open Letter addressing Paragon and its investors w/ questions about their human rights compliance. Paragon seems to have chosen not to respond directly but to relay through @omerbenj that we should address all questions to Italy
Italy tried to deny it, but after @citizenlab confirmed an Italian journalist was hacked, @accessnow and others are demanding answers. I asked the spyware firm at the center of the scandal for their response, and got this response from the firm: x.com/accessnow/statโฆ
Details on the Paragon / Italy ๐ฎ๐น story continue to evolve... @omerbenj has updates below from the firm, following up on @accessnow's letter. A fully independent inquiry with subpoena powers would be appropriate at this point
