You might have missed this statement in the article:

Though I don't think that's what the title was implying, I think it means German "nationality" rather than German "state-owned".
- spupe 4y agoYou are right about this claim, but the only thing I could find to substantiate it is a 2013 article in which leaked documents suggests German federal police wanted to use it [1]. It is still incorrect to suggest this is a German state spyware, although of course you are right about the ambiguity here.
