U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday signed an executive order that restricts the use of commercial spyware by federal government agencies.
The order said the spyware ecosystem “poses significant counterintelligence or security risks to the United States Government or significant risks of improper use by a foreign government or foreign person.”
It also seeks to ensure that the government’s use of such tools is done in a manner that’s “consistent with respect for the rule of law, human rights, and democratic norms and values.”
