State department policy will allow US to impose visa restrictions on individuals involved in misuse of spyware
The Biden administration has announced new steps to cut off support for the global spyware industry, which it said represented a threat to US national security and counterintelligence interests and has personally targeted dozens of American abroad.
A new state department policy, unveiled on Monday, will allow the US to impose visa restrictions on individuals involved in the misuse of spyware, which the administration also said has been used for years to facilitate repression, restrict the free flow of information and enable human rights abuses.
