Article is from a renowned german IT centric media outlet. Topic is a new ruling that allows for government spying through trojan horses on the press. This ruling is highly alarming.

I don’t quite understand. Would journalists be forced to install state-created spyware on their work machines?

No they do not have to install them by themselves but goverment intelligence agencies or police may use them against journalists.

OK, so a journalist who is technically knowledgeable might evade this altogether.
