Abstract
The EU is about to make the use of spyware on journalists legal across the bloc. Some members states currently still have no provisions for the use of such software on journalists. But the new, ironically named, European Media Freedom Act, would allow programmes like Pegasus and Predator to be installed on journalists’ devices in the interest of issues such as national security, albeit under certain circumstances. It is an example of the danger of a race to the bottom that is ever present in the bloc and that can undermine support for it on the progressive, non-nationalist, non-Brexit side of the political spectre.
