🚨 Alert: The use of #Spyware and an attack on #Encryption have been tabled in the French Parliament. These measures pose a serious threat to everyone’s online privacy and security.
In an urgent letter to members of the French National Assembly, 22 digital rights organisations from all around Europe, including EDRi, call to reject the proposed articles.

EDRi-member @LaQuadrature is mobilising against the „narcotrafic“ legislation:

#PPLNarcotrafic
Good news: The provision attacking #encryption was rejected. ❤️
Bad news: The #spyware provision, allowing police the remote activation of devices' microphone and camera, passed. 💔
What's next? The French National Assembly is set to vote on the full text next week, Tuesday, 1 April. They will then begin negotiations with the French Senate before the final law can be passed.
