Welcome in France, a country scared of its own population where the police uses facial recognition illegally. But don't worry, we can expect attempts to make it legal in the coming months or years instead of addressing the problem. Will it make it less shameful? I don't think so.

Please, even if you're not French go and sign this. It can't be allowed to pass, this would create a dangerous precedent.

Welcome in France, this country which claims to be a beacon for Human Rights but has a problem with its law enforcement for the past two centuries... surveillance abounds and its accelerating.

A reminder of what's going on in France... and it's bleak. Lots of things can turn you into a suspect at this point.

You encrypt your communications or data? You try to avoid surveillance from the GAFAM? You use Tor or a VPN?

If anything bad happens around you, then you'll turn into a suspect, this is due to the "clandestine behavior" you entertain... so for sure you are part of some "conspiracy".

This is very worrying.
