ICE Gains Access to Spyware Graphite Amidst Surveillance Concerns

ICE Gains Access to Spyware Graphite Amidst Surveillance Concerns

ICE, a US government agency, is now allowed to use a powerful spying tool called Graphite, made by Paragon Solutions.

This tool can secretly access your phone, read your messages, track your location, and even listen to your conversations.

Paragon Solutions claims it only sells to governments for fighting serious crime, but the spyware was used to target journalists and activists in Europe.

The previous administration had paused the use of this tool, but the current administration has reversed this decision.

Critics are worried this could violate people's privacy and free speech, especially concerning undocumented immigrants.
