France passes bill to allow police remotely activate phone camera, microphone, spy on people
A bill that would allow police in France to spy on suspects by remotely activating cameras, microphone including GPS of their phones has been passed.
You're viewing a single thread.
How exactly are they planning to remotely activate a phone camera and microphone?
Is this an already built in feature? Are they installing spyware on devices to do this?
Go back to when Snowden released his documents. This is backdoors built into the mobile devices for governments secret use. It's such a shame he gave his freedom for the general public to ignore his warnings
Really? I don't remember that.
From what I remember there was some security vulnerabilities that the government either didn't disclose or told the device makers to hold off on fixing. But all of those were exploits not purpose built backdoors at least as far as we know.
Basically I am asking is this bill basically allowing Police to hack devices.
Pegasus probably.
So they are installing Spyware and compromising the security of peoples devices.
That will probably be the next step, pass laws to make backdoors.
