NEW: We spoke to the Italian journalist who was targeted on WhatsApp with government spyware made by Paragon.
“I feel violated,” Francesco Cancellato told me. “It is actually quite strange for a journalist to be spied on in a Western democracy.”
Cancellato is the director of Fanpage.it, which last year published a damning investigation on the youth wing of the current far-right government in Italy.
