Mozilla is deeply concerned with last week’s overwhelming approval by the French National Assembly of the Projet de Loi Relatif au Renseignement, which intends to restructure the legal framework for French intelligence activities.

As currently written, the bill threatens the integrity of Internet infrastructure, user privacy, and data security. More specifically, the current bill authorizes France’s intelligence services to:

   Pervasively monitor and store user communications, metadata, and Web activity about all users in France and abroad;
   Force Internet service providers (and potentially other technology companies) to install “black boxes” in their networks to collect massive amounts of data and use algorithms to search for “suspicious patterns”;
   Intercept user communications, including reading emails and tapping phones, without meaningful due process or oversight; and
   compromise Internet infrastructure in France and extraterritorially.
