> Ciro Pellegrino, who heads the Naples newsroom of an investigative news outlet called Fanpage.it, received a notice on April 29 that his iPhone had been targeted. Last year, Fanpage secretly infiltrated the youth wing of Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party and filmed some of them making fascist and racist remarks.
It's never a good look going after journalists, but this seems especially petty.
Attending a political party's events and reporting what they say and do is petty?
Deploying spyware against journalists in retaliation for their exposing racism in the governing party's youth wing is petty.
Sorry I misunderstood, I thought you were saying Fanpage's actions were petty.

People talk about Japan but if there is one country that has never distanced itself from their role in WW2 it's Italy.
Ofcourse they get away with it because literally nobody has ever taken Italy seriously in centuries.
