France Passes Law Allowing Your PHONE To Be Remotely Activated By POLICE | The Left Wing 11.3
from The Left Wing · host The Left Wing
French police should be allowed to spy on citizens remotely through their phones and other devices if suspected of breaking the law. This is the outcome coming from the Parliament session that occurred on July 5, which saw the great majority of lawmakers voting in favor of giving authorities new sweeping powers to spy on citizens. Not even the use of security tools like VPN services or encrypted messaging apps would be able to prevent this type of state surveillance once the act becomes law. As privacy advocates and politicians from both sides of the political spectrum raise concerns over the decision, Justice Minister Éric Dupond-Moretti keeps rejecting allegations that the provision will turn the country into the next Orwellian dystopian nightmare. ******* We discuss whether or not the police should have this power, privacy protections for citizens & if this will happen in America ******* Related article: https://www.techradar.com/computing/cyber-security/france-grants-police-power-to-spy-on-citizens-through-phones Our Guest For This Week: TJ: https://www.tiktok.com/@poweristakennotgiven *** The video of the episode is attached for all Spotify users *** Follow - The Left Wing: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLeftWingPod Follow - Counterpoint Politics: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/counterpoint_politics/ Follow - Cocktails & Capitalism: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/cocktailsandcapitalism/ Follow - Independent Thought: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/independentthought/?hl=en
