The French Constitutional Council has taken another look at a new security law it waved through in July 2015. A key clause of last year’s Surveillance Law essentially allowed security agencies to monitor and control wireless communications without the usual oversight applied to wiretapping operations. This is unconstitutional as the lack of oversight is likely to result in a disproportionate invasion of privacy, the council ruled Friday. The council has given the government over a year in which to pass new legislation making their operations legal. In the meantime, the spies will have to keep the National Commission for the Control of Surveillance Measures informed of any surveillance operations conducted under the offending clause.”]
