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.

Thats bad!

It is still also important to call out who it really is - the governments of all memberstates who are in the Council of the EU - not the "EU" as such. Lets hope the EU Parliament doesn't get forward with it - with a bit of noise and preassure they are often more willing to do the right thing

unfortunately the EU comission is the key governing body and any efforts to give the parliament proper legislative power have been blocked so far.
