NEW: turns out the EU helped finance a bunch of spyware companies with..public money.

That's YOUR money if you live in Europe.

Eou deserve to know that your money is fueling spyware companies like Paragon.

And if you aren't in Europe? There's a good chance that the mercenary spyware crisis is still fueled by your pensions & tax dollars.

Whether it's Oregon public employees or Alaskans, Europeans or folks in South Yorkshire...

The Fund managers stewarding your cash bear a heavy ethical responsibility for the harms they turbocharged.

And they completely sidestep it.

Now a group of MEPs from 4 EU political groups is calling for action & transparency. Good to see them leaning in...

It's great to see a cross-cutting call for action...

Kudos to these MEPs for standing up. But honestly, there should be many, many more..
