Dutch Justice Minister David van Weel has announced plans to explore a potential ban on surveillance applications such as mSpy. The initiative follows an investigation by NRC revealing that the software is actively used by individuals to stalk current or former partners.
In response to the findings, Minister Van Weel stated that he was deeply shocked by the abuse of the technology. To address the issue, he intends to hold discussions with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) regarding the feasibility of outlawing these types of surveillance tools.
