11/ What can you do? Go call your member of Congress. Ask them to get briefed. Ask for oversight. And on a personal level? Apple's Lockdown Mode & Android Advanced Protection both offer some serious security benefits but neither is a silver bullet..

12/ Finally & unfortunately: as of right now I am pretty confident that no publicly available / commercially developed third party tool can reliably detect Paragon spyware. Beware a false sense of security.

13/ The US uses also Paragon's tech at their counterintelligence peril. Past analyses by the US highlighted how foreign spyware acquisition introduce national security & counterintelligence downsides when the company's technology is developed by foreign companies & foreign gov adjacent individuals.

So this will possibly rely on people knowing their typical data useage and observing any increases. Factory reset should remove it, correct?

Using a non Android or IoS device might actually keep you out of its cross hairs. Although those devices might not have such well tested security to resist direct attacks but would at least be more work to automate
